About
The character 颥 is a phono-semantic compound, with the radical 页 indicating its semantic connection to the head or skull, and the component 需 providing its pronunciation. Its traditional form, 顬, uses the unsimplified radical 頁 alongside the same phonetic element. The character specifically denotes the temporal bone or temple region on the side of the head. As a precise anatomical term, its meaning is confined to this bodily location, and it does not carry secondary abstract or non-medical meanings.
