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 parsed and covered with Yu-Shiang or Yu-Hsiang sauce.
