U+9B99 "鮙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B99 "鮙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that falls under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block. Historically, this character is a variant of the more common character 鮨, and it is associated with meanings related to fish, specifically referring to a type of ray or skate fish, or sometimes to cured or pickled fish products in ancient Chinese texts. Its structure combines the radical for fish (魚) with a phonetic component, and while it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, it appears in classical literature and specialized dictionaries documenting archaic or regional characters. The character is also recognized in Japanese kanji, where it may carry similar or related meanings, though its usage remains highly infrequent.
