U+9CB3 "鲳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鲳
U+9CB3 "鲳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the pomfret fish, a type of marine fish commonly found in tropical and subtropical waters, particularly in East and Southeast Asia. In modern Chinese, it is used in the word "鲳鱼" (chāngyú) to refer to this species, which is prized in culinary traditions for its firm, white flesh and mild flavor, often prepared steamed or pan-fried. The character itself combines the radical 鱼 (yú, meaning fish) with the phonetic component 昌 (chāng, meaning prosperous or bright), reflecting a typical formation pattern in the Chinese writing system where a meaning sign pairs with a sound cue.
