About
鱼 (yú) is the simplified form of 魚, a pictograph of a fish. The traditional character 魚 depicts the animal's head at the top, a scaly body in the middle, and four dots at the bottom suggesting the tail or fins. The simplified version retains the overall shape but replaces the four dots with a single horizontal stroke to reduce the stroke count. It serves as the standard noun for fish and as a common radical in characters for aquatic creatures.
