U+9BE3 "鯣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9BE3 "鯣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that appears in Japanese kanji as well, where it functions primarily as a component of the word "sugitai" or in context with seafood, specifically referring to dried squid or cuttlefish used in cooking and snack foods. The character combines the radical for fish (魚) with the phonetic component "易" (yi/easy), though its usage is relatively specialized and not common in everyday modern Chinese texts. In Japanese, it is frequently encountered as part of the term "surume" (鯣烏賊), indicating a type of dried squid that is often grilled or shredded for consumption. Overall, this character holds limited but culturally significant value in East Asian culinary and character systems.
