U+9C21 "鰡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9C21 "鰡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of fish, specifically the striped mullet or a similar species in the carp family, often associated with freshwater environments. It is composed of the radical for fish (魚) on the left and a phonetic component (留) on the right, indicating its pronunciation in Mandarin as "liú." This character is used in classical and modern Chinese texts to denote the fish itself, and its usage can sometimes extend to metaphorical or literary contexts within East Asian cultures where mullet are valued for food or symbolic meanings. The glyph is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, covering a wide range of traditional and simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters.
