U+2EE5 "⻥" CJK Radical C-Simplified Fish Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⻥
U+2EE5 "⻥" CJK Radical C-Simplified Fish is a graphic component used in Chinese writing systems, specifically representing the simplified form of the traditional "⿂" (fish) radical. This radical appears in modern Simplified Chinese characters to indicate a semantic connection to fish or fish-related concepts, such as in the character 鱼 (yú, meaning "fish"). It is part of the CJK Radicals Supplement block in Unicode, which encodes various radicals used for indexing and inputting Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. Unlike the traditional radical, this simplified version typically appears with a slightly altered visual form, often missing the bottom four-dot stroke pattern found in the original.
