U+63A1 "採" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+63A1 "採" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) commonly used in traditional script, primarily meaning "to pick," "to gather," or "to select," often referring to the action of plucking fruits, leaves, or flowers, or more abstractly to mining or extracting resources like minerals. In modern usage, it appears in words such as "採集" (to collect) and "採訪" (to interview), and it is distinguished from its simplified counterpart "采" (U+91C7), which combines the meaning of picking with a broader semantic range. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, sharing a common origin in classical Chinese texts and carrying historical significance in agriculture, trade, and literary expression across East Asian cultures.
