About
The character 贰 functions as the complex banker's anti-fraud numeral for two, designed to prevent easy alteration of financial documents. Its traditional form 貳 combines the 貝 (cowrie shell) radical for money, the number 二 for value, and the 弋 (arrow or stake) component, creating a dense phono-semantic structure. Beyond its primary use in formal accounting to represent the quantity two, 贰 also developed secondary meanings in classical literature denoting disloyalty or duplicity, often describing subjects who betray a ruler or harbor a second intention.
