All about the kanji, part 9: 二

Another easy one. We know the kun, ふたつ, as well as the on, に. In fact, in katakana, the character for the sound 'ni' is the same as this kanji: ニ and 二. There are very few compounds with this kanji in which its meaning is not obviously 'two'.
  • 一二 (いちに)= the first and second; a few
  • 二見 (ふたみ) = forked (road, river) 見 means to see
