(S​) [] (​) page/leaf (​頁 ‘page of a book’; ​頁 ‘loose-leaf’; ​頁 ‘web page’); (radical 181, 頁​) [xié] (​) ​; ​ [] (DYC:) cf. ​/​

One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):

⁴yè [​] {A} m. pageQị̌ng bǎ shū fāndào dì shí ∼. 请把书翻到第十∼。 Please turn to page 10 in your book.b.f. leaf (in a book) ►chāyè 插页 ►huóyè 活页

    HDZ: 頁 : xié : ​ (​); ​ (​, ​) • yè : (​) ​: ​ (​, ​)
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The simple-form character ​ (6 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 頁 (9 strokes), replacing the lower full-form shape ​ (7 strokes) with ​ (4 strokes).
    Note: In the modern forms ​/頁, the bottom looks like ​/​ ‘cowrie/money’, but ​/​ is not a traditional component of ​/頁 (money was not on their mind).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​/頁(​􁟲𩑋) xié ‘head’ combines ​𦣻(​􁡖) shǒu ‘head’, and ​(​􁝒) rén ‘(legs of a) person’: the head (top) atop the person.
    Note: Today mainly ​/頁 yè ‘page’, formerly wr. ​(​􀱲), and later ​(​􀈙), cf. ​.
    Note: As a radical/component, properly ​/頁 xié ‘head’, but today commonly ​ yèbù, and formerly even 頁/​ qǐ (DYC).
    Note: In the full form 頁 the lower part ​ of the Seal is wr. like ​, but with the 2nd stroke as ​, not ​ or ​.
    Note: DYC says that the received SW texts were emended (tampered with) and that 頁(​􁟲𩑋) xié (SW rad. 324) originally was listed after ​(​􁡞𩠐) shǒu (SW rad. 328) under ​(​􁡟) qǐ ‘kowtow’ (the only other character classified under ​) as a variant of ​; he suspects that 頁 was not originally a SW radical at all, or perhaps it was not a radical in that position (it and all 93 characters it now classifies came after ​ instead of before it); likewise, he says that ​𦣻(​􁡖) shǒu (SW rad. 325), glossed in SW as a Seal variant of the old form ​𩠐(​􁡞) shǒu (SW rad. 328), was originally listed under that character; given this confusion in the pagination of SW, it seems ironic that 頁 later came to be used for ​ yè ‘leaf/page (of a book/album)’.
    Compare: ​(​􁡘𡇢) miàn ‘face’; ​(⿱​頁) (component, corresp. to both ​ and 頁 in some variants).
    Compare: ​/​(​􁟳) tóu ‘head’; ​/頁(​􁟲𩑋) xié ‘head’; ​(​􁡞𩠐) shǒu ‘head’.
