Fish Ideograph

7246/7473

This fish character can mean salmon or pomfret, depending on language. Japanese references record it as a Japan-made kanji for salmon, read さけ. A Korean–Japanese glossary from the 18th century uses 𮫽魚 for Korean 병어, the silvery pomfret; Chinese references list it as a variant of 鮭.

What 𮫽 means

Language decides the fish.

Japanese references call 𮫽 a kokuji, a kanji formed in Japan, read さけ (sake) for salmon; ordinary modern Japanese usually writes 鮭.

In a Korean–Japanese glossary dating to the 18th century, 𮫽魚 is paired with Korean 병어 (byeong-eo) and Japanese マナガツオ (managatsuo), both names for the silvery pomfret.

Specialist fish-name character.

Korean 𮫽魚 means pomfret, not salmon.

Questions people ask

1

Why does 𮫽 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension F block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
