U+9CE3 "鳣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鳣
U+9CE3 "鳣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing a type of fish, specifically the sturgeon, and in some contexts it also refers to a large mythical fish or a species of eel. Classified as a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph, its usage appears in classical Chinese literature and historical texts, often describing aquatic creatures of significant size or symbolic meaning. The character is composed of the radical for fish (鱼) combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its etymological connection to marine life. It is included in the Unicode standard to facilitate digital representation of Han characters across multiple East Asian languages.
