U+8994 "覔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

覔

U+8994 "覔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a variant form of the word meaning "to seek" or "to look for," akin to the common character 覓. It is composed of the radical 見 (jiàn, meaning "see" or "vision") paired with a phonetic or semantic component, and appears in historical texts and classical literature as an alternative glyph for searching or pursuing something diligently. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, enabling its digital representation and use across various East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, though it is less common in modern everyday writing compared to its standardized counterpart.
