U+9AE9 "髩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9AE9 "髩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character, primarily used in classical or historical contexts, that belongs to the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, which encompasses characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese scripts. This particular glyph is a variant form of the more common character "鬢" (U+9B22), which means "temples of the head" or "hair on the temples," often referring to the sideburns or sidelocks of hair. Historically, "髩" appears in older texts and calligraphy, but it is not widely used in modern standard written Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, making it a specialized character for philological study or traditional literature.
