Yu-shiang-whole-fish
yu-shiang whole fish
/yoo-shyang hohl fish/ an obsolete name for the greek character gamma (extended sail ascii code 9, unicode glyph 0x0263) which with a loop in its tail looks like a little fish swimming down the page. the term is actually the name of a chinese dish in which a fish is cooked whole (not p-rs-d) and covered with yu-shiang (or yu-hsiang) sauce. used primarily by people on the mit lisp machine, which could display this character on the screen. tends to elicit incredulity from people who hear about it second-hand.
