How it is used
Served whole at new year's eve dinner and deliberately not finished: 鱼 yú sounds like 余 yú, "surplus". Fish left on the plate means a year with plenty left over.
Custom and usage, in the settings where it applies.
Shown in simplified. Converting whole words needs one-to-many knowledge this site does not have — 发 is 發 in 出发 but 髮 in 头发 — and a confidently wrong word would be worse than an honest simplified one.
Got it. Tell someone:
fish
yú — fish
