僥倖 (The upper character is pronounced with the fanqie 經 + 遙 [jiáo], and the lower has the sound of 幸 [xìng]. According to examination, "僥倖" [good fortune / luck] refers to that which exceeds one's due measure and is obtained by chance encounter, hence it is called 僥倖. The Kaosheng says: "Seeking what is beyond one's due measure is called 僥倖." Both characters take the person radical [亻] and are phono-semantic characters.)
