About
The character 睃 is a phono-semantic compound, with the eye radical 目 on the left providing its semantic category of vision, and the component 夋 on the right supplying the phonetic value. It denotes the action of looking askance or casting a sidelong glance, often suggesting a sly, secretive, or inquisitive manner. The structure thus refines the broad concept of visual perception into a specific, descriptive verb.
