览
lǎn
to look at
to view; to read
a picture of 览 → to survey broadly, built on see (见)
见 means to see, and 览 extends that to a deliberate, sweeping act of looking — surveying a view or reading through a text. The upper portion of 览 is not a standard named component and mainly shapes the character visually rather than adding a clear second meaning.
