What 顩 means
It describes uneven teeth or an upturned chin.
An early Chinese character dictionary, 《說文解字》, analyzes 顩 as a word for facial appearance: 頁 means “head,” while 僉 supplies the sound. Later dictionaries give two senses: teeth protruding unevenly past the lips, and a chin turned upward.
The classical pairing 顩頤 selects the raised-chin sense. In 顩頤折頞, quoted from a classical essay by Yang Xiong, the description continues with a bent nose.
Should I take 顩 personally?
A bare message can sound like a comment on appearance.
Both dictionary senses describe facial features. If someone sends 顩 to you alone, ask what they mean before treating it as a neutral reaction.
Classical or specialist: both meanings describe facial features, so a bare personal message can sound pointed.
Alone, it may read as a remark about someone’s teeth or chin.

1Why does 顩 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.
