U+9C46 "鱆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鱆
U+9C46 "鱆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that primarily means "octopus" in traditional Chinese and Japanese (where it is read as "tako" in Japanese). This ideograph is composed of the radical "魚" (fish) on the left, indicating its association with aquatic life, and the phonetic component "章" (zhang) on the right, which gives a clue to its pronunciation in Chinese. Found in historical and modern texts, it is used in contexts such as cuisine and marine biology, though it is less common in simplified Chinese, where the character 鱆 may be replaced or relegated to specialized or classical usage.
