U+9C56 "鱖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鱖
U+9C56 "鱖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a type of freshwater fish, specifically the mandarin fish or Siniperca chuatsi, which is prized for its flavor in Chinese cuisine. This character is composed of the radical "魚" meaning fish, combined with a phonetic component that suggests its pronunciation, and it appears in historical texts and modern usage primarily as a name for this species. In various East Asian languages that use Chinese characters, such as Japanese and Korean, it similarly denotes the same fish and is sometimes used in literary contexts, though its usage has declined with the simplification of characters in mainland China, where it is often replaced by the simplified form "鳜".
