Does 0 have a shorthand character as well?
Can be written as 〇
I'm not sure about China but in Japan there's 〇 which can be used like so: ハ〇〇円 to mean 800 yen, in a restaurant menu for example
It's pretty complicated as-is so no.
Edit: clearly misunderstood the question. see below.
This reply makes no sense lol
Sorry, I misunderstood what shorthand meant. I thought the question was whether there's a complex variant, like 一 → 臺 for 零.
I'm an ESL speaker, so please forgive me.
零 is the only character, as far as I know. 一, 二, ... are not shorthands; they're the original characters, while 臺 and other more complex forms are used only in certain situations where necessary.
Hope this is what the questions was about.
