U+869D "蚝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+869D "蚝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of oyster, specifically the common edible oyster found in coastal regions of East Asia, and is often used in the context of seafood cuisine, such as in the popular dish oyster sauce. This ideograph is composed of a radical meaning "insect" or "creature" on the left, suggesting its biological classification as a marine mollusk, and a phonetic component on the right that provides its pronunciation "háo" in Mandarin. In modern usage, "蚝" is distinct from the more general term for oyster "牡蛎", as it specifically denotes certain species like the Pacific oyster and carries connotations of culinary and regional significance in Chinese-speaking communities.
