U+81C9 "臉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of "face" in both a physical and social sense. Physically, it denotes the front part of the head, encompassing the cheeks and visage, and it is commonly used in words like "臉頰" (cheek) or "洗臉" (to wash one's face). Socially and metaphorically, it carries the important cultural meaning of "face" as a representation of dignity, reputation, or social standing, which is central to concepts like "面子" (miànzi, social face) and "丟臉" (losing face). This character is composed of the radical for flesh or body on the left and a phonetic component on the right, and it is widely used in both traditional Chinese and Japanese writing systems.
