U+9FFA "鿺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9FFA "鿺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that belongs to the vast set of East Asian ideographs encoded for digital text representation, specifically within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified block. Its composition combines the radical for "fish" (魚) with a phonetic component, and it traditionally denotes a type of fish or a place name in classical Chinese texts. This character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 11.0, released in 2018, to support historical and specialized vocabulary not covered by earlier encoding. Due to its obscurity, it is seldom employed in modern writing, but its inclusion ensures accurate preservation of ancient documents and linguistic heritage.
