U+3029 "〩" Hangzhou Numeral Nine Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+3029 "〩" Hangzhou Numeral Nine is an ideographic symbol historically used in the suzhou numeral system, a traditional Chinese method of writing numbers that originated in the Song dynasty and was commonly employed in commercial and accounting contexts. This particular character represents the number nine and is visually derived from a variant of the Chinese character for "nine" (九), though it features a distinct stylized form to fit the numeral set. Unlike standard Chinese numerals, which are often written in a manner similar to regular text, Hangzhou numerals are typically arranged vertically or within a two-by-two grid for clarity in ledgers and documents. The character belongs to the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block in the Unicode standard and is primarily of historical interest today, as the suzhou numeral system has largely been replaced by Arabic numerals in modern Chinese usage.
