Source: Browser Default
U+9859 "顙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character pronounced "sǎng" in Mandarin and used primarily in classical or formal contexts. It refers to the forehead or the front of the head, and is most famously associated with the ritual act of "koutou" or "kowtow," where one kneels and bows so low that the forehead touches the ground, as a sign of deep respect or submission. In compound terms, it appears in words like "稽顙" (qǐ sǎng), meaning a prostration involving the forehead striking the ground, and it carries historical and cultural weight in descriptions of ancient Chinese ceremonies and expressions of reverence.
