Simplified form of 壽.
About
寿 represents long life, longevity, and lifespan. Its traditional form 壽 is a complex phono-semantic compound historically combining elements for age and speech, with its phonetic component linked to prolonged existence. The simplified form 寿 greatly reduces the stroke count, featuring a modified top and the dimension radical 寸 at the bottom. Despite this visual simplification, it fully retains its original meaning concerning the length of one's life and is commonly used in contexts celebrating elderly birthdays.
