Unicode Version 17.0

廿

U+5EFF "廿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the number twenty, functioning as a numeric ligature or shorthand. It is composed of two copies of the character for ten, 十, placed vertically, reflecting its meaning of two tens combined. Commonly used in historical and some modern contexts in East Asia, particularly in dates, traditional calendars, and financial documents to denote the twentieth day of a month or the number twenty in a concise form, 廿 remains an important part of written Chinese despite the prevalence of the standard numeral 二十.
