U+9C0C "鰌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9C0C "鰌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of fish, specifically the loach or a similar bottom-dwelling freshwater fish, and it can also carry secondary meanings related to being slippery or cunning. This character is used in traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji writing systems, where it may appear in classical texts or as part of species names. In the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, "鰌" is composed of the radical for "fish" (魚) on the left, combined with a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation, typically read as "qiū" in modern Mandarin Chinese. While not among the most common characters in everyday usage, it retains relevance in specialized contexts such as zoology, literature, and historical documents.
