// vs 聚 (jù): //Jù* emphasizes physical convergence, clustering, or density.

Simplified variant: 汇 (U+6C47).

Caution is advised regarding the simplified variant 汇 (U+6C47), which in modern contexts often denotes "convergence" or "flowing together" (e.g., water or currency). The ancient sense of 彙 is one of stacking or categorizing; do not import the modern sense of fluid convergence into an ancient text unless the context explicitly supports it.
