page, head

頁 is a pictograph depicting a person's profile, emphasizing the hair and eyes, with its original meaning being the head. As 頁 and 葉 (leaf) share the same pronunciation, 頁 is now used only to denote the number of pages or sheets of paper. Additionally, Chinese characters with 頁 as a radical, such as 頭 (head) or 頸 (neck), retain the original meaning of 頁 related to the head.
