/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. Used primarily by people on the MITLIsP Machine, which could display this character on the screen. Tends to elicit incredulity from people who hear about it second-hand. [Jargon File] (1995-01-31)
