U+634C "捌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
捌
U+634C “捌” CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally used as the financial or anti-fraud numeral for the number eight, serving to prevent alterations in contexts like banking, accounting, and legal documents where numerical precision is critical. It is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left and the phonetic component 别 on the right, and while it originally meant to separate or divide, its primary modern usage is as the complex form of the digit eight, distinct from the simpler character 八. This character is part of the set of “da xie” (大写) numerals in Chinese, which are formally taught and employed across China, Taiwan, and other Chinese-speaking regions to ensure clarity and security in financial transactions.
