The Chinese character "双" (shuāng), meaning "double" or "pair," is the simplified form of the traditional character "雙" (shuāng), which depicts a pair of hands, a common early Chinese representation for duality or paired objects.

Their forms and phonetic representations are quite different from one another as words, whic...
