Only used in 鸳鸯 ('mandarin ducks'), where 鸳 is the male and 鸯 the female. Because they are said to stay paired for life, they are a classic symbol of devoted lovers, and a split hotpot is called a 'mandarin-duck pot'.
The bird radical at the bottom gives the meaning: a mandarin duck is a kind of waterbird, so the character is filed under the bird radical, as is its partner 鸯.
