U+9B7B "魻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
魻
U+9B7B "魻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that falls under the radical for "fish" (魚), indicating its semantic association with aquatic life. Its pronunciation is typically given as "xiá" or "xiān" in Mandarin, though its usage is extremely uncommon in modern Chinese, appearing mainly in classical or archaic texts. The character is believed to describe a type of fish or a specific fish-like creature, but its precise meaning remains obscure and is not well-documented in standard dictionaries, making it more of a historical or linguistic curiosity than a practical part of contemporary writing.
