Sea Turtle
黿 is the Chinese and Korean title for sea turtle.
黿 may also be used to refer to a loggerhead turtle or hawksbill turtle.
Sea Turtle
海亀 is the Japanese title for sea turtle.
海 literally means sea or ocean.
亀 means turtle or tortoise.
Legendary Turtle
鼇 means “legendary turtle” in Chinese. 鼇 is a great mythological turtle that travels the seas. The creature is comparable to the dragon of China, however, it so happens that dragons became a bit more famous as history progressed. In modern Chinese, this character can just refer to a large sea turtle.
Note: 鼇 can be pronounced in Korean but this is a very rare Korean Hanja form - it hasn't been used in Korea for at least a few hundred years (even before they switched to Hangul characters).
