U+9CE1 "鳡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鳡
U+9CE1 "鳡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing a type of large, carnivorous freshwater fish, specifically the yellowcheek carp or similar predatory elopiform fish, known in English as the "kanyu" or "bighead carp" in some regional contexts, though it more precisely denotes the species *Elopichthys bambusa*. This ideograph combines the radical for fish "魚" with the phonetic component "敢" which means "daring" or "bold," reflecting the fish's aggressive nature. It is used in modern Chinese primarily as a technical term in ichthyology and fishing, and it appears in historical texts and classical literature as a symbol of strength and voracity.
