What 覾 means
It means looking closely or examining something.
覾 is absent from 說文, an early Chinese character dictionary. The earliest dated record is a 997 entry in 龍龕手鏡, a dictionary that helped Buddhist readers work through scripture and character variants.
Later Chinese lexicons gloss it as close looking and connect it with 審.
It reads as a dictionary word or deliberate archaism, not casual shorthand.
A lone character gives little tone to go on.
