U+4F0D "伍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+4F0D "伍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with deep historical and cultural significance, primarily used to represent the number five in financial and formal contexts to prevent fraud or alteration, functioning as a capital numeral in the same way as characters like "壹" for one or "贰" for two. Beyond its numerical role, this character also carries the meaning of a "company" or "squad" in military terminology, tracing its origins to ancient Chinese administrative and martial organization, where it denoted a unit of five soldiers. Additionally, "伍" appears in classical literature and personal names, reflecting its versatility in embodying both numerical precision and structured grouping within the vast CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character repertoire.
