U+9BCB "鯋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9BCB "鯋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of small fish, often identified as a kind of shark or a small sand shark, and it belongs to the radical for fish (鱼/魚). In traditional Chinese usage, it is associated with the same meaning as the variant character 鯊, which denotes a shark, though 鯋 can also appear in classical texts or compound words to specify a smaller or distinct species. Its structure combines the fish radical with the phonetic component 沙 (sha, meaning "sand"), hinting at the fish's habitat or physical characteristics. This character is rarely used in modern simplified Chinese, but it may be encountered in historical literature or specialized contexts such as zoology or traditional nomenclature.
