Source: Browser Default
U+8490 "蒐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to collect" or "to gather," often used in the context of collecting medicinal herbs or searching for rare items. In classical texts, it can also refer to a type of plant, specifically the "sorghum" or "Chinese sorrel," and historically carried a connotation of autumn hunting in ancient Chinese ritual practices, where it denoted a seasonal hunt to cull or select animals. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, and its usage extends to literary works and formal names, though it is less common in modern everyday language, where simpler characters like "搜" (sōu) for "search" are frequently preferred.
