魚 means fish. It is a JLPT N4 kanji written in 11 strokes, read さかな or ぎょ. It contains 𠂊, and at least one further part our source data does not name. It appears in 金魚 (goldfish).
魚 is written in 11 strokes, in the order numbered below. Order matters: it is what makes handwriting legible, and it is how the character is looked up in a paper dictionary.
魚 breaks into 1 part.
| Word | Reading | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 魚 | さかな | fish |
| 金魚 | きんぎょ | goldfish |
These use 𠂊 too. The part keeps its job from one character to the next, which is what makes it worth learning once.
