Well, the fish is a Christian symbol which got it's origin after Jesus was ascended into Heaven.

Answer: I guess you are asking about the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph showing a fish (B64 in the British Museum system, K1 in the Gardiner classification).

This sign can have several functions:

  • as an abbreviation for the word "fish", it stands alone and is followed by a short, thin vertical stroke
  • as a determinative, it follows the names of many different species of fish in the ancient Egyptian language (in these cases it has no sound value and serves only to identify the kind of word being written)
  • as a phoneme (sound sign) it has the value in, where the i is a consonant not found in English. It can therefore form part of the spelling of words such as inH "surround", another inH "eyebrows", int "valley", inty"hinder", inm "skin", insy "bright red linen", in "ropes of a ship", inst "calf of the leg", inhmn "pomegranate" and many more.
