U+9B96 "鮖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9B96 "鮖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that combines the radical for "fish" (魚) with the phonetic component 石 (meaning stone), and it is primarily used in Japanese as a kokuji or a country specific kanji. In Japanese, this character is read as "ishikago" or "ishikaru" and refers to the rockfish or stonefish, a type of fish known for its habitat among rocks and stones in coastal waters. It is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese and appears mainly in specialized contexts such as ichthyology or Japanese proper nouns, making it a relatively rare and regionally specific ideograph within the Unicode standard.
