What 鮍 means

鮍 names a fish and can also describe fish prepared open.

An Eastern Han Chinese dictionary, 《說文解字》 (a guide to Chinese characters), records 鮍 as a fish name. Its entry groups 鮍 with fish words and identifies 皮 as the sound-giving part.

Later dictionary usage also applies 鮍 to fish cleaned and split open for preservation; one entry cites 《齊民要術》, a manual on farming and food preparation, for the cleaning step.

How do I type 鮍?

Try its Mandarin Pinyin readings or Unicode input.

On a Mandarin Pinyin keyboard, try pī or pí and choose 鮍 from the candidates. If it does not appear, a Unicode-aware input method can enter 9B8D.

鮍 reads as specialized fish or food vocabulary; surrounding words distinguish the animal name from the preparation sense.
