Unicode Version 17.0

鰩

U+9C29 "鰩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in traditional Chinese and classical texts, where it denotes the skate or ray, a type of cartilaginous fish related to sharks, characterized by its flattened body and winglike pectoral fins. This character is composed of the radical "鱼" (fish) on the left, indicating its semantic category, and a phonetic component on the right that provides a clue to its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is "yáo". While not commonly used in modern everyday writing, it appears in zoological contexts, historical texts, and regional literature, serving as a specific term for these marine animals in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it may be read with varying pronunciations.
