About

The character 颙 originates from the traditional form 顒, structured with the phonetic component 禺 and the semantic component 頁, which associates it with the head or face. Its early meaning pertained to a large head or a dignified facial expression, but the semantic range later shifted to convey abstract qualities of solemnity and respectful earnestness. The simplified form 颙 retains this composition, substituting the traditional 頁 with its simplified counterpart 页.
