U+9BFC "鯼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鯼
U+9BFC "鯼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that falls under the category of a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideograph, representing a type of fish, specifically a small fish mentioned in ancient texts, with its structure combining the radical for fish (魚) and the phonetic component 㚇 (zōng). This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, and its meaning is largely historical or literary, often appearing in classical references or specialized dictionaries rather than everyday language. The rarity of usage underscores its status as a preserved piece of historical orthography within the vast Unicode CJK repertoire.
