U+8613 "蘓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8613 "蘓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically functions as a variant of the more common character "蘇" (sū), often associated with the idea of revival, restoration, or the fragrant herb perilla. In classical and literary Chinese texts, it appears primarily as a less frequently used alternative form, sometimes seen in personal names or in the context of the word "復蘓" meaning to come back to life or recover. Its structure combines the grass radical (艹) with elements suggesting renewal or awakening, though in modern usage it has largely been supplanted by the standard "蘇" in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese scripts.
