About
瞧 is a phono-semantic compound character meaning to look, glance, or observe. Its semantic radical 目 (mù, eye) is positioned on the left, anchoring the meaning in the physical act of vision. The right side is the phonetic component 焦 (jiāo, scorched), which provides the pronunciation without contributing to the meaning of looking. The character is commonly used in colloquial speech to describe directing one's gaze or paying visual attention to something.
