敛
U+655B "敛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to collect," "to gather," or "to restrain." It is commonly used in modern and classical Chinese, often appearing in contexts such as "收敛" (to converge, to restrain oneself) or "敛财" (to accumulate wealth, often by improper means). The character is composed of the radical for "strike" or "tap" on the left side and a phonetic component related to "to examine" or "to gather" on the right, reflecting its semantic focus on drawing things together or holding back. In historical usage, it also carried connotations of frugality or self control, making it a versatile term in both moral and practical descriptions.
