Source: Browser Default
U+9BA8 "鮨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily denotes sushi, specifically referring to a type of vinegared rice dish combined with raw fish or other seafood, a meaning that was adopted from Japanese culinary culture. Historically, the character has also been used in classical Chinese texts to refer to a fermented or preserved fish product, sometimes translated as "pickled fish" or "salted fish," drawing on its radical "魚" (fish) and phonetic component "旨" (delicious or purpose). In modern contexts, it is most commonly recognized as the siniform representation of sushi in East Asian languages, particularly within Japanese kanji where it remains a standard term for the iconic dish.
