鲢
U+9CA2 "鲢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a species of freshwater fish commonly known as the silver carp. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "fish" on the left side, which indicates its biological category, and a phonetic component on the right side that suggests its pronunciation. In Mandarin Chinese, it is pronounced "lián" and is frequently used in culinary and agricultural contexts, particularly in regions where silver carp are farmed for food. The character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block in Unicode, ensuring its consistent representation across digital systems that support East Asian scripts.
