U+76E3 "監" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
監
U+76E3 "監" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to supervise," "to inspect," or "oversee," and it is also used as a noun meaning "supervisor" or "overseer." This character is composed of the radical "皿" (vessel) on the bottom, which hints at its ancient origin related to the act of looking into a basin of water, such as for seeing a reflection or checking the contents, with the top portion representing a person bending over to look. In modern usage, "監" appears frequently in formal and governmental contexts, such as in the words "監視" (surveillance) and "監獄" (prison), reflecting its core semantic field of watchful authority and control.
