U+981A "頚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+981A "頚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the neck or throat, functioning as a variant or simplified form of the more common character 頸 (jǐng), which carries the same meaning. In modern usage, particularly in Japanese kanji, 頚 is often employed as a standard form to denote the physical neck region, while in traditional Chinese contexts it may appear less frequently compared to its counterpart. This ideograph belongs to the set of East Asian characters unified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) standard, and its shape combines the phonetic component 巠 (jīng) with the radical 頁 (yè), which signifies a head or page, thus visually linking the concept of the neck to the head.
