About
The character 颋 is primarily an adjective, forming a phono-semantic compound. Its phonetic component is 廷 on the left, while the radical 页 (simplified for 頲) on the right provides the semantic category related to the head or body. It fundamentally means straight or upright, referring to both physical posture and moral integrity. Due to these positive associations, it has been commonly used in personal names, though it remains rare in everyday vocabulary.
