U+9BAE "鮮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鮮
U+9BAE "鮮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character traditionally composed of the radicals for "fish" (魚) on the left and "sheep" (羊) on the right, though simplified variants exist. Its primary meanings include "fresh," "lively," and "bright," often used to describe food that is not spoiled or colors that are vivid and clean. In East Asian languages, it also carries cultural significance in terms like "鮮明" (distinct or clear) and can refer to Korea, as seen in the country name "韓國" (Hanja: 韓國, though "鮮" appears in historical names like "朝鮮" for Korea). This character is widely used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, reflecting shared linguistic heritage with nuanced regional variations in pronunciation and usage.
