(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 见:) The simple-form character 见 (4 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 見 (7 strokes), replacing the full-form component 目 (5 strokes) with its first two strokes, and lengthening the first stroke of 儿 to fill the gap.
The Shuōwén Seal form of 见/見() jiàn ‘see’ combines 目 mù ‘eye/vision’, and 儿() rén ‘person’ (人): a person uses his eyes/vision (in order to see).
Note: Formerly distinguished as 视/視() shì ‘vision/sight’, vs. 见/見() jiàn ‘see’; one can have 视 ‘vision’, but still not 见 ‘see’, as one can have 听/聽() tīng ‘hearing’, but still not 闻/聞() wén ‘manage to hear/understand (recognize sounds)’, or as one can eat, but still not recognize the taste/flavor (cf. 聞); but later such distinctions were confused/lost (DYC); cf. 聞.
Note: In the simple form 见, the full-form component 目 is reduced to its first two strokes (like 冂), and the first stroke of 儿 is lengthened; this is an old 草书 abbrev., seen in 4th c. A.D. (王羲之).
Compare: 现/現 xiàn ‘seem/appear’, formerly wr. 見 (spelling variation 现/见 xiàn is seen in literary usage); 现/現 xiàn ‘glitter/twinkle/shine of jade’.
Compare: 霰(䨷) xiàn ‘(small) hail/sleet’ (雪珠), formerly wr. 䨘().
Compare: 艮(𥃩) gèn ‘turn/look back’.
见/見 is the 147th of the 214 radicals.
