About this kanji
The kanji 「覧」 primarily means 'to see' or 'to peruse' and is usually found in nouns rather than verbs. It is often used in compounds like 展覧会 (てんらんかい), meaning 'exhibition', where people come to see various displays, and 一覧 (いちらん), which means 'list' and implies a quick look over things. Another common compound is 閲覧 (えつらん), meaning 'inspection' or 'viewing', often related to looking at documents or websites. A handy note is that while this kanji often indicates looking over something, it's usually in a more formal or structured context.
