覧る is incorrect, in short.

We don't write it. Some people may use it. But not correct usage.

i dont see how could anyone say it's wrong or anything, but certainly it seems to be the usage of kanji only newspaper writers would recongnise whose different nuance from 見る, and actually use. the thing is that the distintion between the two kanji have the origin in chinese language, and while the distinction may make sense in chinese, it doesnt quite ring a bell of japanese speakers. in other words, while these two different kanji are the two different words in chinese, miru is the same one word in japanese from the speech stand point, regardless of whatever different kanji may be allocated to.

for the above reason i dont say 覧る is a word. みる is a word, though.

and now we can talk. みる is a word related to the act of looking at something, and looking after people:

見る is basically "looking at"

観る is watching a movie, musical, a play etc.

看る is looking after people, patients.

and 覧る, according to the above answer, means "look over" the whole list of things, or in this case anything comprehensive.

"覧る" (browse through a list) is a word that is rarely used. Few native Japanese would recognize it.
