Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+77CB "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that represents the meaning "to look at" or "to gaze," specifically with connotations of peering or staring intently, though its usage is extremely uncommon in modern Chinese. Classified as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, this character is composed of a radical related to sight or eyes combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its etymological structure common to many logograms in the script. Due to its obscurity, it is rarely encountered in standard texts, including literature or digital communication, and is primarily of interest to linguists, paleographers, or specialists in historical Chinese script variations. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures consistent encoding across digital platforms, allowing for preservation and study of this ancient character.
