About
鳢 is the simplified form of the traditional character 鱧. It pairs the fish radical (魚) on the left, marking it as a fish, with the phonetic component 豊 on the right. The character is the specific name for the snakehead, a predatory freshwater fish known for its elongated body and resilience, commonly eaten across East Asia. Outside this literal meaning, it carries no abstract or extended senses.
