U+77D9 "矙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+77D9 "矙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant or historical alternative for the more common character "瞰" (kàn), which means to look down from a height, to survey, or to spy on. This ideograph features the "目" (eye) radical on the left and a complex phonetic component on the right, reflecting its visual and semantic connection to seeing or observing. Its usage is largely confined to classical or literary contexts in traditional Chinese and Japanese scripts, where it may appear in ancient texts or as a stylistic choice in calligraphy. As a part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, it represents the shared historical writing heritage of these languages.
