U+9B8F "鮏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B8F "鮏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily refers to the smell of fish or a fishy odor, often used in classical and literary contexts to describe a pungent, marine scent. It is composed of the radical 魚 (fish) on the left and the phonetic component 星 (star) on the right, which originally contributed to its pronunciation and meaning related to fish. In modern usage, this character is relatively rare, encountered more frequently in historical texts or specialized vocabulary rather than everyday language, and its meaning can overlap with other characters like 腥, which more commonly denotes the same fishy smell.
