In chinese,伍 is another five. It is used in Money.
In chinese, all the numbers have two styles.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
一, 二, 三, 四, 五, 六, 七 ,八, 九, 十
壹, 贰, 叁, 肆, 伍, 陆, 柒, 捌, 玖, 拾

The third style is used in paper money and coin.

Should divide the Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

@kid-wumeng
They're the same character in simplified and traditional Chinese.

It's like lower case and upper case in English, but only numbers have those two representation.

Man.. those traditionalists must have had alot of time... one (壹) has 11 strokes! Traditional Binary must have sucked big time!

No, it's cardinal vs. ordinal. Fifth vs. Five. Not so extraordinary. Get over it.
