The Chinese character 二 (èr) for "two" is composed of two horizontal strokes, representing the concept of "doubling" or "pairing". The character's origin can be traced back to the oracle bone script, where it was depicted as a simple horizontal line with a small vertical stroke in the middle. This basic form represented the idea of "dividing in two" or "splitting apart". Over time, the character evolved to its current form, with the addition of the second horizontal stroke to emphasize the concept of "two". The character 二 is also used in various combinations to form other numbers, such as 十二 (shí èr) for "twelve" and 二十 (èr shí) for "twenty".
