minus-squarefeedum_sneedson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 年前Ultimately that’s the origin of the character. Although it’s quite common to see “〇” in written shorthand when 零 is being used as a middle or final zero in a number otherwise written in characters, like 906 could be written as 九零六 or 九〇六.
minus-squareTempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 年前So my Chinese is pretty distant from actual usage, but when did 906 stop being 九百六？
minus-squareammonium@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 年前In spoken language 九百六 isn’t 906 but 960 ( shortened version of 九百六十), 906 is 九百零六.
