U+3039 "〹" Hangzhou Numeral Twenty Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
〹
U+3039 "〹" Hangzhou Numeral Twenty is a historical numeral symbol from the Hangzhou or Suzhou numeral system, which was traditionally used in China for financial and commercial notations, such as in accounting or on shop signs, to represent the number twenty. This character belongs to the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block, and its East Asian appearance is distinct from standard Chinese characters, as it mimics the shape of the rod numerals that were employed in ancient counting methods. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves this unique numeric notation for digital representation, though it is now rarely used in everyday modern writing.
