What about this one?
I’m at a loss for words
How many gears is that?
Just enough to make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.
All of them.
11? Including reverse
I’m at a loss

That’s the map of the forth level of the dungeon in “Vampires for Hire”.
Is this Garfield Breast Reduction?
1 = 壹 2 = 貳 3 = 參 4 = 肆 5 = 伍
These exist as well.
They’re used in places where numbers should NOT be forged(i.e. bank documents…)
This is how they got their numeric meanings btw.
So 伍 is not 5, but five.
correct
Does 0 have a shorthand character as well?
It’s pretty complicated as-is so no.
Edit: clearly misunderstood the question. see below.
This reply makes no sense lol
Sorry, I misunderstood what shorthand meant. I thought the question was whether there’s a complex variant, like 一 → 臺 for 零.
I’m an ESL speaker, so please forgive me.
零 is the only character, as far as I know. 一, 二, … are not shorthands; they’re the original characters, while 臺 and other more complex forms are used only in certain situations where necessary.
Hope this is what the questions was about.
Oh, cool af! I got adviced to always write years with all 4 numbers not to allow forgeries
No one has mentioned special 2, 两! It’s only for counting certain things.
What about accounting numbers? They’ll make anyone cry
only if you have to do them by hand or hunt pennies. other than that they’re simple/
write all of the numbers on top of each other then scribble on them. does that look anything like zero? i don’t know kanji, i’m just understanding my own bad handwriting and trying to understand how they’d get there
The concept of zero is scary, so it’s a wizard shooting lightning from all orifices. Makes sense.
Under the arms and from the butt are the orifices?
armpitussy
You can go ahead and have that back
The Greeks felt the same - thankfully Eastern philosophy had a different take on it.
I was thinking it was so scary, it’s someone pissing themself
You don’t divide by 0 in Chinese because he’ll jump off the page and kick your ass.
Lil fella with smelly armpits and the buttsquirts?
Japanese isn’t much better:
一、二、三… 四｡
It’s the same as in Chinese, so I wouldn’t expect it to be 😅
Wait. I’ve played a lot of Fatal Frame, and they only signify the Zero Lens by its kanji, and it’s not that square shape. So now I’m confused…
Maybe its ghost folklore origins put it more on the Chinese side?
That’s because 四 is 4
In Japanese they also use 零 (rei) for zero. Or 〇 (maru) or ゼロ (zero)
Chinese characters are seen in Japanese media as stylistic choice, yes.
The ones I typed are proper Japanese Kanji, which are derived and very simplified forms of Chinese characters. Even more so than Simplified Chinese.
A) Kanji are Chinese characters.
B) Both languages simplified their characters, but Chinese was actually more aggressive in simplifying than Japanese, not the other way around.
For example, look at the character for turtle:
Traditional Chinese: 龜
Simplified Chinese: 龟
Japanese: 亀
Fun fact, for a long time in history minus (-1) did not exist
Zero is also a relatively new invention
Mathematics for much of human history was discrete - it had to be connected to something tangible which you can see, touch or feel. Negative numbers first arose in China, subsequently the use numerical operations on negative numbers and the conceptualization and use of zero arose in India. Spiritual concepts within dharmic philosophies such as Buddhism helped lead to these ideas.
or 〇, if you prefer
Zero seems to be someone very upset… Is it mad at me ? Or, maybe, am I the 0 ?
