U+9BA1 "鮡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9BA1 "鮡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that is primarily used as a logograph in East Asian languages, particularly in Japanese and Chinese. It represents a type of small freshwater fish, often identified as the catfish or a specific kind of goby, and is constructed from the radical for "fish" on the left and a phonetic component on the right. In modern usage, it appears in specialized contexts such as biological taxonomy, historical texts, or regional names for certain fish species, but it is not commonly encountered in everyday writing or standard vocabulary. Its pronunciation varies by language, for example, reading as "zhào" in Mandarin and "chō" in Japanese.
