U+9CD0 "鳐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9CD0 "鳐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph representing a type of ray or skate fish, specifically the electric ray or a similar cartilaginous fish found in East Asian waters. In modern usage, it is commonly seen in biological and marine contexts, often referring to the manta ray or related species. The character is composed of the radical "鱼" (fish) on the left and the phonetic component "䍃" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation as "yáo" in Mandarin. It appears in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts, though it is more prevalent in Chinese, where it is used in vocabulary describing seafood and marine life.
