cjk unified ideograph-29dbd

Chinese fish-name character

40382/42720

𩶽 is a historical Chinese variant of 鮤, a character naming a fish; in Mandarin, 鮤 is read liè. An old glossary pairs the name with 鱴刀, and 𫚖 is another historical fish label. If it appears as a box, the font or app may lack its glyph.
