U+9C94 "鲔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9C94 "鲔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in the Standard Mandarin writing system, where it denotes a fish species, specifically the tuna or a similar large migratory fish such as the Pacific bluefin tuna. In classical Chinese texts, it can also refer to the sturgeon or other related fish, reflecting its historical usage in the Erya dictionary where it described a large fish that appears with seasonal regularity. The character is composed of the radical for "fish" (鱼) on the left and the phonetic component "有" (you, meaning "to have") on the right, and it appears in modern contexts, such as the name of the Kuroshio Current (which literally means "Black Tide" but is sometimes associated with this fish), as well as in culinary and biological references to tuna species in East Asian cultures.
