About
The modern character 鱼 (yú) is the simplified form of the traditional 魚, which is a pictograph. Its traditional form visually depicts a fish: the top represents the head, the middle shows the scaly body, and the bottom dots suggest the tail or fins. The simplified version preserves this overall structure while converting the four bottom dots into a single horizontal line, reducing its stroke count. 鱼 literally means "fish" and serves as a common radical for many aquatic-related characters.
