Simplified form of 雙. Depicts a pair of hands.
About
The traditional character 雙 is an ideogram depicting two birds 隹 grasped by a right hand 又, visually representing a pair or two identical things. The simplified character 双 replaces the two bird components with another right hand 又, forming a structure of two 又 characters side by side. This visual repetition of the hand component effectively conveys the core meaning of duality, a pair, or even numbers, achieving clarity without the complex strokes of the original bird radical.
