For everyone who don't know, this is the complicated version of Chinese numbers. In modern days, they are mostly used in writing cheques, because these characters are not as easily modified as the simple version.

No. The two, three, and six are different between simplified and traditional:

貳 | 贰

參 | 叁

陸 | 陆
