U+9B9C "鮜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9B9C "鮜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (a Hanzi) used primarily in historical or classical texts, though it is not common in modern standard Chinese. Its traditional meaning refers to a type of fish, often identified as the Chinese herring or a similar species, and it has also been documented as a variant of the character "鱟" (hòu), meaning horseshoe crab, in some older dictionaries. This character is composed of the radical "魚" (fish) on the left and the phonetic component "后" (hòu) on the right, indicating both its semantic category and approximate pronunciation. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a specific grapheme shared across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, though its usage is largely limited to specialized or literary contexts.
