鰲

U+9C32 "鰲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that historically refers to a mythical sea turtle or a giant turtle often depicted in Chinese mythology as carrying the world on its back, sometimes seen as a symbol of endurance and longevity. This character is composed of elements representing a turtle and a luxurious or abundant quality, and it appears in classical texts and names, notably in the context of the legendary figure Ao Bing from the novel "Fengshen Yanyi" and in the idiom "独占鳌头" meaning to come first or top the list, referencing a turtle carved on the top of stone pillars in imperial examination halls. In modern usage, it remains a part of literary and historical vocabulary, though it is less common in everyday written Chinese.
