Tips

history
頫 is not used independently in modern Chinese. It is an old variant of 俯 (to bow the head, to look down); the calligrapher Zhao Mengfu used it in his courtesy name 子昂. Always write 俯 today.
register
Classical / variant only - seen in old texts and calligraphy, not in modern Chinese.

Components

radical
页 yè
head; page (the 頁 radical)
Right side is the 页 radical, originally a drawing of a head. It supplies the meaning: 頫 is about lowering the head, the same head sense as 顾 and 顶.
phonetic
兆 zhào
omen; a trillion
Left side 兆 is the sound element, with a strong drift from zhào to fǔ. It carries no 'omen' meaning here. The standard form 俯 uses a different phonetic for the same word.
