About this kanji
The kanji 「送」 primarily means to send or transport something. It can be used both as a noun and a verb, but is commonly seen in its verb form as '送る' (おくる), which means 'to send.' You'll also find it in compound words like '送信' (そうしん), meaning 'transmission,' often used in the context of sending messages or data, and '郵送' (ゆうそう), which refers to mailing something. Another example is '搬送' (はんそう), relating to the transportation of goods or people. One useful note is that while '送る' can mean sending anything, it often refers to sending packages or letters, rather than casual things like messages.
