U+8997 "覗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8997 "覗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in traditional and classical texts, as well as in Japanese (where it is read as "nozoku" or "ukagau"). It conveys the meaning of "to peep," "to spy," or "to take a look," often implying a surreptitious or furtive glance. The character is formed by combining the radical for "see" or "sight" with another component, and its usage appears in historical literature, compound words, and modern contexts such as describing someone looking through a gap or secretly observing. While less common in simplified Chinese, it remains recognized in Unicode for cross-linguistic digital representation.
