U+8D30 "贰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8D30 "贰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that serves as and functions as the complex or formal numeral for the number two, primarily used in financial contexts in China, Taiwan, and other Chinese-speaking regions to prevent fraud or alteration of documents like checks, banknotes, and contracts. This character is derived from the component "贝" meaning shell or money, combined with the phonetic element "二" (èr, two), reflecting its semantic grounding in monetary matters. As a traditional form of the simplified character "二," "贰" carries an additional stroke complexity that ensures legibility and security in official writing, and it is standardized in the Unicode standard as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a logogram with deep historical roots in Chinese script evolution and economic practices.
