👁️ 观点 = 观 (observe) + 点 (point) — literally an observation-point
观 means to observe or view; 点 means a point or dot. Together they form observe-point, a vantage from which one looks — hence viewpoint, perspective, or stand on an issue.
点 — fire radical 灬 + 占 (zhān, phonetic)
Originally written 點, a semantic-phonetic compound: 黑 (black) gave the meaning 'small black mark or dot' while 占 supplied the sound. It first referred to ink spots, then extended to 'point, drop, a little,' and verbs like 'to mark' or 'to light (a fire),' reflected in the simplified form's 灬 (fire) component.
