U+9BD8 "鯘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鯘

U+9BD8 "鯘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "rotten" or "spoiled," often used in classical or literary contexts to describe decaying fish or food. It is composed of the radical for "fish" (魚) on the left, indicating its connection to fish or aquatic life, and the phonetic component "妥" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (typically nèi or něi in Mandarin pinyin). This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is rarely used in modern everyday language, appearing more frequently in historical texts or specialized literature. Its representation in Unicode ensures consistent encoding across digital platforms, preserving the character for scholarly and typographic use.
