U+9C00 "鰀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9C00 "鰀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character (hanzi) that falls under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block. Its primary meaning is associated with the term for "silverfish" or a type of small, scaleless fish, often linked to the traditional Chinese fish radical "鱼" (fish) on the left side and a phonetic component on the right. This character is seldom used in modern standard Chinese, appearing mostly in classical literature, historical texts, or specialized dictionaries discussing archaic fauna. It also appears in Japanese kanji sets with a similar meaning, though it remains uncommon in contemporary usage.
