About
The character 四, representing the number four, is structurally composed of the enclosure radical 囗 with two internal strokes. Its etymology derives from an earlier form depicting four horizontal lines, which was subsequently transformed into the present design to avoid ambiguity with other numerals. The character has always functioned as a numeral, and its use in the language remains centered on this numerical value.
