Is the meaning of this symbol "longevity"? I'm trying to determine the meaning of a particular character. Sparing the boring details, I'm trying to figure out what the meaning of this character is:



As near as i can tell it might be a symbol for "longevity" but, the symbol for that "shou" looks more like that below?



Is the meaning of the top character correct? Is there a difference between these two versions of the character?
This is just a variant of 壽.

If you suspect a character is a variant you can always go to the wiktionary entry and refer to the Unihan data which will show common variants or use the service I linked above if it is something more obscure.
