Yu-Shiang Whole Fish

/yooshyang hohl fish/ , n. obs. The character gamma (extended SAIL ASCII
0001001), 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 parse d) and covered with Yu-Shiang (or Yu-Hsiang,
or in modern Pinyin transliteration yuxiang) sauce. Usage: 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. Yu Shiang Whole Fish is alive and well in Unicode as U+0263
LATIN SMALL LETTER GAMMA (as opposed to the actual Greek letter at U+03B3,
which usually has a loopless glyph; the form of U+0263 is consistently
loopy). This symbol is included in Unicode as a Latin letter because it is
used in the International Phonetic Alphabet. In the IPA, gamma represents a
voiced velar fricative, the sound commonly transcribed gh in Arabic or
Klingon.
