U+9B9A "鮚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B9A "鮚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) classified under the radical for fish (魚), and it is historically read as "jié" in Mandarin. This ideograph refers to a specific type of fish, often identified in classical texts as a kind of large or mythical aquatic creature, sometimes associated with the Asian arowana or a legendary giant clam. It appears in ancient Chinese lexicons such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where its definition is tied to regional or archaic zoological terminology, and it is rarely used in modern everyday language but persists in specialized historical or literary contexts.
