U+98A4 "颤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
颤
U+98A4 "颤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to tremble," "to shiver," or "to vibrate," often conveying a sense of shaking or quivering due to fear, cold, or physical agitation. Composed of the radical 页 (yè, meaning "head" or "page") and a phonetic component, it is commonly used in modern Mandarin in words like 颤抖 (chàndǒu) for "shiver" and 颤动 (chàndòng) for "vibrate." Historically, the character carries connotations of instability or involuntary motion, and it appears in classical texts as well as everyday language to describe both literal and figurative trembling, such as a shaking voice or a fluttering heart.
