U+9CDC "鳜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鳜
U+9CDC "鳜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a species of freshwater fish, specifically the Mandarin fish or Siniperca chuatsi, which is a prized culinary delicacy in Chinese cuisine, particularly in dishes like "sweet and sour mandarin fish" or "steamed mandarin fish." It is composed of the radical "鱼" (fish) on the left, indicating its association with aquatic life, and the phonetic component "厥" on the right, which guides its pronunciation (often read as guì in Mandarin). This character has historical roots in classical Chinese texts and is used in the present day both in literary contexts and in everyday menus across East Asia, where the fish is valued for its tender, flaky flesh and mild flavor.
