U+635C "捜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

捜

U+635C "捜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in Japanese kanji, where it serves as a simplified variant of the traditional Chinese character "搜" (sōu in Japanese). It is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left and the phonetic component 叟 on the right, and its core meanings include "to search," "to look for," or "to investigate." This character appears in common Japanese vocabulary such as "捜索" (sōsaku, meaning "search") and "捜査" (sōsa, meaning "criminal investigation"), and it is officially listed in the Jōyō Kanji list of frequently used characters in Japan, distinguishing it from the more complex standard form used in Simplified Chinese.
