U+9E39 "鸹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9E39 "鸹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of bird, specifically the "cormorant" or a similar aquatic bird often associated with fishing in East Asian contexts. This character is composed of a radical related to birds on the left and a phonetic component on the right, which hints at its pronunciation as "guā" in Mandarin. In traditional Chinese culture, the bird represented by this character is recognized for its ability to dive and catch fish, and it has historically been used by fishermen in some regions for this purpose. The character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, meaning it is shared across these writing systems, though its usage and frequency can vary.
