U+9BF4 "鯴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鯴
U+9BF4 "鯴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in traditional and classical contexts. It is pronounced "shi" in Mandarin and represents a type of fish, specifically referring to the catfish or a similar species in some historical texts. This character is notably rare in modern usage, appearing more frequently in ancient literature or specialized dictionaries rather than everyday writing. Its structure combines the radical for fish (魚) with the phonetic component "乙" and other elements, reflecting its roots in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified character system.
