U+9C0A "鰊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鰊

U+9C0A "鰊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that in modern standard Mandarin is pronounced "liàn" and primarily refers to a type of fish, specifically the herring or a similar marine fish species. Historically, it has also been used in ancient texts to denote a fish that is said to be colorful or patterned, though its usage in contemporary Chinese is rare, appearing more often in classical literature or specialized dictionaries. In Japanese, this character is read as "kanna" or "ren" and can refer to the same fish, but it is also notable for being part of the name of the city of Kama (Kama-shi) in Fukuoka Prefecture, where it is used as an abbreviation or in historical contexts. Overall, it remains a specialized logogram with limited application, mostly encountered in scholarly or regional references rather than everyday language.
