鯤
U+9BE4 "鯤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a mythical giant fish from ancient Chinese folklore, most famously described in the Daoist classic Zhuangzi, where it transforms into the immense bird Peng. This character is composed of the radical for fish on the left side and the phonetic component "kun" on the right, and it has been used in classical literature to symbolize vastness and transformation. In modern usage, it appears in names, poetry, and cultural references, and it is also utilized in Japanese kanji and Korean hanja with similar meanings, though in simplified Chinese it is written as 鲲.
