Chinese character 顉

19018/20992

顉 is a Chinese character for lowering or moving the head or chin, including nodding. It belongs more to dictionary and classical-text reading than everyday messaging. A classical passage cited for it has 頷 in its transmitted wording, so compare the form in that passage.

Text symbol

What 顉 means

It describes lowering or moving the head or chin.

Traditional Chinese dictionaries gloss 顉 as lowering the head; other entries also record nodding or shaking the head, or a curved chin. The component 頁 points to the head, while 金 supplies the sound.

Literary and specialist; it suits classical-text reading or a deliberate discussion of the character.

Alone, 顉 does not settle whether the head is lowered, nodding or shaking, or the chin is meant; use the sentence around it.

Why does 顉 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
