U+9C9A "鲚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鲚
U+9C9A "鲚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph representing the anchovy or similar small fish, specifically referring to species in the family Engraulidae. This character is used in modern and classical Chinese texts, often appearing in contexts related to cuisine, marine biology, or traditional literature. Its simplified Chinese form, as encoded in Unicode, derives from the traditional character "鱭," combining the radical for fish (鱼) with a phonetic component indicating its pronunciation (qi or jì depending on regional usage). The character illustrates how the CJK Unified Ideographs block consolidates thousands of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters into a single encoded set for digital text processing.
