U+9CAB "鲫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9CAB "鲫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the crucian carp, a common freshwater fish species often found in East Asia. This logograph is composed of two primary components: the radical "鱼" (fish) on the left, which indicates its semantic category as a type of fish, and the phonetic component "即" (jí) on the right, which suggests its pronunciation. In modern Chinese, the character "鲫" is used in everyday language to refer specifically to the crucian carp, a fish frequently consumed in cuisine, raised in aquaculture, and discussed in traditional medicinal contexts. Its designation under the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode ensures consistent digital representation across platforms, preserving the character for use in texts about zoology, cooking, and Chinese cultural traditions.
