Was Huckleberry Finn a girl?

I must ask, is there any confusion or misunderstanding surrounding the character of Huckleberry Finn? It's a well-known fact that Huckleberry Finn is a beloved literary character from Mark Twain's novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He is distinctly described as a young boy, not a girl. Could you possibly be mistaking him for another character, or perhaps there's a particular reason why you're posing this question? Clarifying these details would help me provide a more accurate and informative response.
