U+89AC "覬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

覬

U+89AC "覬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to covet" or "to long for" something, often with an implicit sense of hoping for an undeserved or excessive desire, such as coveting a position or favor. This character consists of the radical "見" (jiàn, meaning "to see" or "vision") combined with a phonetic component "豈" (qǐ), reflecting its traditional structure in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) script system. In historical Chinese texts, it commonly appears in phrases like "覬覦" (jì yú), which denotes greedy expectations or usurpation, particularly in contexts of power or inheritance. While less common in modern everyday usage, it remains a recognized part of the Unicode Standard's vast CJK repertoire for representing classical and literary Chinese vocabulary.
