[edit] Etymology
三 is formed by writing 一 three times. Since 一 means one, 三 means three. Chinese characters often exhibit tripling to show a group of something; 三 is thus similar to 森 and other characters formed the same way.
[edit] Han character
三 (radical 1 一+2, 3 strokes, cangjie input 一一一 (MMM), four-corner 10101, composition ⿳一一一)
