Cultural Note

่ฆ‹ is used both literally (to see with eyes) and figuratively (to understand, to form an opinion).

Youโ€™ll find it in many verbs formed from ใฟใ‚‹ โ€” like ่ฆ‹ใคใ‘ใ‚‹ (ใฟใคใ‘ใ‚‹) โ†’ to find.

In Japanese philosophy, seeing is connected with understanding the truth, making ่ฆ‹ a spiritually rich character.
