About
The character 覐 is an obsolete variant and precursor to 覥 (jué), conveying the ideas of awakening, awareness, or perception. Its structure combines the semantic radical 見 (jiàn), meaning "to see", at the bottom with the component 𦥯 at the top, which relates to learning and forms the upper part of 學. This arrangement illustrates gaining knowledge or awareness through observation and learning. Its simplified form, 觉, replaces the complex top component with a simpler shape while simplifying the bottom radical to 见, yet retains the same core meanings of perception and awakening.
