U+9C41 "鱁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鱁

U+9C41 "鱁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that falls under the radical for fish (鱼) and is traditionally understood to refer to a type of small aquatic animal, often interpreted as a kind of fish or, in some classical texts, a sea creature such as a porpoise or dolphin. This character appears in ancient Chinese literature, including the Erya, one of the earliest Chinese dictionaries, where it is used to describe a mythical or obscure marine entity. Due to its infrequent use in modern Chinese and Japanese, "鱁" is primarily of interest to scholars of historical linguistics, paleography, and sinology, as it represents a specific term from classical lexicons rather than a common word in everyday speech. Its structure combines the fish radical with a phonetic component, reflecting the typical formation of many CJK characters that encode both meaning and sound.
