U+9C5A "鱚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9C5A "鱚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese-derived logogram classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs, representing a specific type of fish. In modern usage, it is primarily employed in Japanese as a kanji character where it denotes the "sillago" fish, commonly known as the "whiting" or "sand borer," and appears in contexts such as seafood names or culinary references. The character combines the radical for "fish" with the phonetic component "喜" to create its meaning and pronunciation, reflecting the standard structure of many CJK characters that blend semantic and phonetic elements. Though less common in everyday Chinese text, it retains its definition as a fish species across all three languages due to the unified encoding standard.
