U+9B8B "鮋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鮋

U+9B8B "鮋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that refers to a type of fish, specifically a scorpionfish or rockfish, and is used in East Asian writing systems including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its composition combines the radical for fish (魚) with the phonetic component 由, reflecting its meaning as a marine creature. In modern usage, this character appears in classical literature, formal names for certain fish species, and occasionally in contemporary contexts such as cuisine or biology texts, though it is less common in everyday simplified Chinese writing where alternative characters may be preferred.
