What 蘓 means
No. 蘓 is an attested variant of 蘇. It writes the same character with 魚 (fish) and 禾 (grain) exchanged. This order appears on Qin-period pottery; a Tang-era guide records it as 俗字, a nonstandard variant.
蘇 can mean perilla, revival, or relief and appears in names; 蘓 belongs to the same character family. In modern Chinese text, it can look like a typo; in historical calligraphy, it preserves a variant spelling.
The Japanese Somin Shorai talisman tradition preserves the name with variant spellings, including 蘓. This is ritual writing, not a separate everyday meaning.
