U+89D1 "觑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+89D1 "觑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified forms, primarily meaning "to spy on," "to peep," or "to look askance at," often with a connotation of sneakiness or scrutiny. It is composed of the radical "见" (jiàn), meaning "to see," combined with the phonetic component "虚" (xū), which can imply emptiness or stealth, reflecting its semantic core of covert observation. This character appears in classical Chinese literature and modern usage, such as in the term "小觑" (xiǎo qù), meaning "to look down upon" or "to underestimate," and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a part of the vast Han script family used across East Asian languages.
