Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5169 "兩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "two" or "a pair," and it is also historically used as a unit of weight or currency in East Asian cultures. This character is visually distinguished from the simplified form "两" by its more complex structure, which retains ancient brushstroke patterns. In addition to its numeric and unit meanings, "兩" is commonly found in classical texts, idioms, and compound words such as "兩岸" meaning "both sides" or "兩者" meaning "both." Its glyph showcases a balanced composition that reflects the symmetrically paired elements it represents, making it a fundamental component in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages that utilize traditional CJK characters.
