五 - Wu3 - Five
Today Java 五 came out. All the insanity of Sun’s version number scheme is captured in that one URL: is it Java 5? Or is it Java 2? Or is it Java 1.5.0? It’s all three!
My dictionary also has this character: 蓰 - Xi3 - Increase Five Fold. I immediately searched for simliar characters meaning 4X and 3X, but didn’t find any. Strange?

Obviously, the Chinese are smart enough to give special recognition to the 5 timers club.
One Two Three Four Five! You’re Great! You’re Great!
