i visited a newly opened matcha shop today, and this was my first time seeing japanese ケ/ヶ (ke/ka) to indicate quantity in chinese! it's pronounced and used exactly like chinese 个 (gè). (chinese is becoming more japanese, it seems...)

can't find any info about ヶ being used in chinese online, but usage is similar between languages. in the case of "1 month"... chinese: 1个月 (simplification of 1個月) japanese: 1ヶ月 (simplification of 1個月)
