What 鵜 means
In Japanese, 鵜 means “cormorant.”
It is read う (u), a short vowel close to the “oo” in “book.”
A Chinese account from the 7th century describes cormorant fishing in Japan; by the early eighth century, records show the catch reached court.
Alone, 鵜 reads as a Japanese word.
Without Japanese context, its bird, fishing, and metaphorical senses can blur.
