魟

U+9B5F "魟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of marine fish known as a stingray or skate, belonging to the family Dasyatidae or Rajidae. In modern usage, it appears in biological and culinary contexts across East Asian languages, particularly in Mandarin Chinese, where it denotes the flattened, venomous-tailed ray found in coastal waters. The character is composed of the radical 魚 (fish) on the left and the phonetic component 工 (gōng) on the right, reflecting its semantic category and sound. Historically, it has been used in classical texts and continues to be employed in scientific terminology and regional cuisine, such as in descriptions of seafood dishes in Chinese-speaking communities.
