Mahjong players be like:
Dang, need to find me a deck like that, travel sets keep getting me stopped in the airport
Here’s one source. I cannot vouch for or against it; I buy inside China, not outside.
They could count the number of lines still ;)
You only count the four central strokes for four when its written that way, how those kanji came about or how theyre taught to children, is that the stroke number is equal to the numbers value up until you reach ten.
That doesn’t work at all though? 五, 六 have 4 strokes, and 七, 八, 九, 十 have 2 strokes.
They might gues 1-3 , nice try though
I’m not a native speaker of any language that uses Chinese numerals, but I have some familiarity with them and these look weird to me.
1, 2, and 3 are the ordinary forms, 5 is the more formal version used in finance, 6 looks like the ordinary form but with an extra stroke, and 4 is so off that I only identified it by process of elimination.
But… whats even the point of rolling them openly then ?
