Definition
汇 (huì) has three core meanings: to remit money, to converge (rivers/crowds), and to exchange currency. For the 'remit' sense, it often appears in the compound 汇款 (the common verb), while 汇 alone is more formal or technical. For 'converge,' 汇 is used in literary/geographical contexts, whereas 汇合 is the general compound verb for merging.
