happening to meet
覯 centers on the idea of encountering someone or something by chance: a happening to meet, a coincidental meeting.
覯 combines 見 (to see) with 冓, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to meeting or encountering. The exact historical development of 冓 in this context is uncertain.
The left side 冓 looks like two people facing each other under a roof, and the right side 見 means 'see'. Picture two people happening to meet and see each other by chance.
For コウ, imagine a coincidental meeting at a coffee shop: 'co' in coffee cues コウ, and the two people happen to see each other there.
