Unicode Version 17.0
貮
U+8CAE "貮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character used in traditional and simplified Chinese, as well as in Japanese and Korean, where it represents the number two, often serving as a variant or financial form of the more common character 二. This character is typically employed in contexts requiring anti-fraud measures, such as writing monetary amounts on checks or official documents, to prevent tampering or alteration. Its structure combines the radical 貝 (meaning shell, associated with wealth) and a modified form of 二, reflecting its numerical value and historical use in commerce.
