605 running person = 16 saloon door with a hat

For bonus fun, the "saloon door with a hat" character (兩) means both a unit of mass and "two" (as in "there are two things" which is not the same as counting "one, two, three")

Iirc, and it's been a /while/ so I could be totally wrong, cant it can also can be used as a niche measure word for something, in which case it's "lia" instead of "liang"? Also unsure if that's different between Cantonese and Mandarin.

There is 辆 which is a measure word for vehicles, but it doesn't have the same tone
