U+9C39 "鰹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鰹
U+9C39 "鰹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a type of fish, specifically the skipjack tuna or bonito, and is also used in Japanese as "katsuo," a key ingredient in dashi broth and a symbol of vitality in Japanese culture. This ideograph belongs to the Kangxi radical 195 for fish, and its structure combines the radical for fish on the left with the phonetic component "jian" on the right, reflecting its aquatic origin in East Asian lexicon. In modern usage, it appears in contexts ranging from culinary terms to historical texts, and it is encoded in Unicode as part of the CJK unified ideographs block to support digital representation across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages.
