What 𱆭 means
It names a fish in a Korean coastal record.
The first recorded use is in Uhae-ieo-bo, Kim Ryeo’s book of local sea life, completed during his exile in Jinhae in 1803. The entry describes a blue-green fish with two knife-like fins beneath its cheeks. A 2024 study says Kim likely created hanja characters for regional fish names and their traits; scholars disagree over which species some entries describe.
