wdym complicated? it's easy!
壹貳參肆伍陸柒捌玖拾 see? easy!
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.
Even as a Hongkonger myself, I have no idea. We just see these characters as ancient numbers.
Also, if you write 柒 in an informal context, it is considered offensive.
Traditional chinese. It scares me.
Nope, these are bank numerals for banknotes and checks
Which is also traditional Chinese ...
No. The two, three, and six are different between simplified and traditional:
貳 | 贰
參 | 叁
陸 | 陆
Damn, didnt know that, thx
