CJK Ideograph 29DAA

40363/42720

𩶪 is a rare Chinese character in fish-name records: dictionaries link it to 𩶅, and Vietnamese chữ Nôm records it for cá cháy. These are separate writing traditions, not proof of one shared species.

Text symbol

What 𩶪 means

It is a rare Chinese fish-name character.

Guangyun (1008) calls 𩶅 a fish name. Jiyun (1037) is cited in the Kangxi Dictionary as equating 𩶪 with 𩶅. These Chinese sound dictionaries sort characters by pronunciation. Vietnamese chữ Nôm—writing Vietnamese with Chinese-based characters—also records 𩶪 for cá cháy, a fish name.

A font may lack this glyph. On Windows 10 and later, the default MingLiU and DFKai-SB fonts include it; elsewhere, try a CJK font that covers Extension B.
