U+3024 "〤" Hangzhou Numeral Four Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
〤
U+3024 "〤" Hangzhou Numeral Four is a numeral symbol used in traditional Chinese numeric notation, specifically within the historical Hangzhou (sometimes called Suzhou) numeral system that was employed for commercial or accounting purposes, such as marking prices or quantities on shop signs and invoices. Resembling a stylized cross or X, this character represents the number four and is part of a set of ideographic digits that visually differ from standard Chinese characters. While its use has largely been replaced by modern Arabic numerals and standard Chinese number ideographs, "〤" remains encoded in Unicode to preserve historical and regional writing practices.
