Origin

This character combines two parts to mean "look back" or "examine." The right component, 頁, is a radical that relates to the head—think of it as a picture of a head with facial features. The left component, 雇, serves as a sound hint telling you roughly how to pronounce the character. Together, the combination of "head" with this sound component created a character for the idea of turning your head around to look back, or more broadly, reviewing and examining something carefully.
