U+8CB3 "貳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
貳
U+8CB3 "貳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily denotes the number two, specifically in financial or formal contexts to prevent tampering or alteration, as it is the complex or capital form of the simpler character "二". This character is composed of two key components, the radical "貝" meaning shell or money, which hints at its historical use in monetary transactions, and the phonetic element "二" that suggests its pronunciation as "èr" in Mandarin. Beyond its numerical function, "貳" can also convey meanings of disloyalty or duplicity, such as in the word "貳心" meaning a treacherous heart, reflecting a cultural and semantic extension from its core value of two or duality.
