U+9C8B "鲋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鲋
U+9C8B "鲋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of fish, specifically the crucian carp or a similar small carp-like species. In classical Chinese texts, it is often associated with the term "鲋鱼" meaning carp or a fish that inhabits shallow waters, and it appears in historical and philosophical works such as the Zhuangzi, where it is used in the famous parable of the "fish in the dried-up rut" to symbolize a creature in desperate need of help. The character is composed of the radical for fish (鱼) and the phonetic component "付" (fù), and it is used in both modern and literary Chinese contexts, though it is less common in everyday language.
