U+9BC8 "鯈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鯈
U+9BC8 "鯈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of fish, specifically the whitebait or a small, silvery fish often found in East Asian waters. It is also known as the "smooth-skinned fish" or "minnow" in some contexts, and its usage appears in classical Chinese literature and historical texts, though it is relatively rare in modern everyday writing. The character belongs to the Kangxi radical for fish, 魚, and its components suggest a phonetic and semantic structure that has evolved over centuries within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) script family.
