U+7ABA "窺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
窺
U+7ABA "窺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means to peep, spy, or glance stealthily, often through a small opening or from a hidden vantage point. Its structure combines the "cave" or "hole" radical (穴) on top, suggesting an enclosed or dark space, with a semantic component related to sight or observation, reinforcing the idea of looking secretly. This character appears in classical and modern written Chinese, as well as in Japanese kanji (where it can be read as "ukagau"), and is used in compounds like 窺視 (kuīshì, to spy on) or 窺探 (kuītàn, to pry into) to convey furtive or inquiring observation.
