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.
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
