U+9BD5 "鯕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9BD5 "鯕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents a type of fish, specifically the Pacific saury or a similar slender, elongated fish. In modern usage, it is most commonly encountered in Japanese as the kanji "鯕" (saira), where it denotes the saury fish often used in cuisine. The character is composed of the radical for fish (魚) on the left, combined with a phonetic component on the right that influences its pronunciation. Though not frequently used in everyday Simplified Chinese writing, it remains a part of traditional Chinese and Japanese typographic systems and is included in the CJK Unified Ideographs block for digital text encoding.
