U+9C98 "鲘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9C98 "鲘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems, where it represents a type of fish, specifically the "Chinese herring" or a similar marine species, often referenced in historical or regional contexts. Its composition includes the radical for "fish" (鱼) on the left, indicating its aquatic meaning, combined with a phonetic component on the right that suggests pronunciation, typically read as "hòu" in Mandarin. This character appears in classical literature and certain place names, such as in the name of a town or county in Guangdong province, China, but is less common in modern everyday usage, making it a specialized or rare glyph within the CJK Unified Ideographs block.
