What does remember here mean? to be able to bring back a piece of information into your mind or to keep a piece of information in your memory

Did you remember my birthday?

I guess here it means to keep an information in your memory

Because the other one wont make sense here

I wonder why there is one word for bringing back a piece of information into mind and to keep a piece a piece of information in your memory.

In my language there are two different words for both the cases.

Ughhh. English is really a weird language. Huh

The most common usage for "remembering some special event" is not the simple act of recalling when it is. The wording implies that not only did the person recall when the event was, but also that they planned on making some celebration recognizing that event. "You forgot our anniversary!

No. Here it's "bring back information from your mind". Also, "recall" can be used for this meaning of "remember".

"Do you remember when my birthday is?" has the other meaning: "keep information in your mind". "know" is fairly similar.
