U+9BDF "鯟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9BDF "鯟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obsolete Chinese character that traditionally refers to a type of fish, specifically a small, edible fish often identified with the "northern snakehead" or a similar species found in East Asian waters. Composed of the radical for "fish" (魚) on the left and the phonetic component "東" (dong, meaning east) on the right, it is rarely used in modern Chinese or Japanese texts and is primarily encountered in historical or classical dictionaries. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that ancient or specialized scripts can be digitally preserved and accessed.
