U+9C5B "鱛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鱛
U+9C5B "鱛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical for "fish" (⿂) and containing a phonetic component related to the word for "increase" or "layer." Its standard definition in Mandarin Chinese refers to a type of fish, specifically the Japanese sea bass or a similar fish species, and it is occasionally used in Japanese (often transliterated as "kamasu") as part of personal or place names. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese writing but is preserved within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block to maintain historical and linguistic consistency across East Asian text systems.
