U+9BB8 "鮸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character representing a specific type of fish, commonly identified as the "brown croaker" or "mi-iuy croaker" (Miichthys miiuy), a species found in East Asian coastal waters. Its composition combines the radical for fish (魚) with the phonetic component 免 (miǎn), which suggests both sound and meaning.
