U+8996 "視" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8996 "視" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character used primarily in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, where it carries the core meaning of "to see" or "to view." It is composed of the semantic radical 見 (see) on the right and the phonetic component 示 (show) on the left, though its structure can vary slightly between scripts. In everyday usage, it appears in words like Japanese "shiya" (sight) or Chinese "shìlì" (eyesight) and is distinct from its simplified Chinese equivalent 视, which uses a different radical. Historically, 視 also conveyed concepts of inspection or appearing before someone, making it a versatile ideograph in East Asian literary and formal contexts.
