U+9C03 "鰃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鰃
U+9C03 "鰃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically specific Chinese character referring to a type of fish, often identified as a grouper or a similar sea bass species in classical texts. This ideograph combines the radical "魚" meaning fish with a phonetic component "畏" to indicate its pronunciation and semantic category. While it is seldom used in modern standard Chinese, it appears in ancient dictionaries and encyclopedic works as a technical term for a marine fish found in coastal regions of East Asia. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures the preservation of this specialized lexical artifact for scholarly research and digital representation of classical texts.
