U+89A6 "覦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

覦

U+89A6 "覦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to covet" or "to desire greedily," often in the context of longing for something that belongs to another. It is composed of the radical "見" (jiàn, meaning "see" or "view") combined with phonetic and semantic components, and it appears in classical literature and philosophical texts, such as the works of Confucius and Zhuangzi, where it describes inappropriate or excessive yearning. In modern usage, the character is less common in everyday writing but retains its specific nuance of envious or illicit desire, and it is occasionally used in formal or literary contexts across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts where traditional Han characters are employed.
