U+9C90 "鲐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9C90 "鲐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that refers to the pufferfish or globefish, specifically the species commonly known as the "blowfish" or "fugu" in Japanese cuisine. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block and is composed of the radical for "fish" combined with a phonetic component indicating its pronunciation as "tái" in Mandarin. The character is used in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems, where it denotes a type of fish that is famously poisonous if improperly prepared, yet considered a delicacy in some East Asian culinary traditions. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard facilitates digital communication and text processing across multiple languages and platforms that require representation of this specific term.
