U+9B5C "魜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
魜
U+9B5C "魜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that combines the radical for "fish" with the phonetic component "人" meaning person, and its historical usage is primarily found in classical texts and personal names, where it typically refers to a specific type of legendary fish or, in some ancient contexts, a mythical aquatic creature resembling a human. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese but remains part of the extended CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unicode block, representing a specialized fragment of East Asian literary heritage.
