ponyfish (Leiognathidae)

Rare CJK Unified character naming small flat ponyfish of family Leiognathidae; the simplified counterpart in everyday use is 鲾. Visually built as a fish radical paired with a phonetic, but the glyph is not analysed into independent components in standard stroke data. Treated as a single fish-pictograph entry - the phonetic gives the reading and the fish anchor gives the meaning, with no further decomposition.

No stroke data for 鰏; the glyph shown is your device font, so component strokes can't be highlighted.
