U+9C68 "鱨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鱨

U+9C68 "鱨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character, known as a "yellow catfish" or "yellowhead catfish", that refers specifically to a type of freshwater fish belonging to the genus Tachysurus or Pelteobagrus. This ideograph is formed with the radical "魚" (fish) on the left, indicating its association with aquatic life, and the phonetic component "嘗" on the right. Historically, the character appears in classical Chinese texts and is used in the context of zoology and cuisine, particularly in East Asian naming conventions for certain species of scaleless catfish. In modern usage, it is less common than its simplified variant or other fish characters, but it remains part of the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, encoded to support accurate representation of traditional Chinese and related written languages.
