U+9BDB "鯛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9BDB "鯛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) and Japanese kanji that refers to the sea bream, specifically the red sea bream (Pagrus major), a fish highly valued in East Asian cuisine and culture, often associated with celebration and good fortune due to its reddish color and the auspicious sound of its name, which in Japanese can homophonously evoke the word for "medetai" meaning joyous. In Chinese, it also denotes the porgy or similar fish species, commonly used in traditional dishes. The character is composed of the radical for fish (魚) and the phonetic component 周 (zhou), and it appears in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese writing systems, as well as in Japanese, where it is a joyo kanji.
