U+9B66 "魦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

魦

U+9B66 "魦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare, historic logograph from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) block, representing a type of small shark or fish, and is primarily encountered in classical Chinese texts and specialized zoological references rather than in modern everyday language. This character is composed of the radical 魚 (fish) on the left side, which indicates its semantic connection to aquatic life, and the phonetic component 沙 (sha, meaning sand) on the right, suggesting a pronunciation related to that element. In traditional usage, "魦" was sometimes associated with the sand shark or a fish found in sandy waters, though it has largely fallen out of common use in contemporary Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, appearing mainly in historical or lexicographical contexts.
