U+89CA "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to covet" or "to hope for" something that is not rightfully one's own, often carrying a negative connotation of greedy desire. It is composed of the radical 见 (jiàn, meaning "see" or "view") on the right side, which relates to perception, and the phonetic component 岂 (qǐ, a questioning particle) on the left, suggesting its pronunciation as "jì" in Mandarin. This character appears in classical Chinese texts and modern usage, notably in the term 觊觎 (jìyú), which means "to have one's eyes on something with ill intent," such as another's possessions or position.
