Kennin Posted December 7, 2006 at 02:51 PM Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 at 02:51 PM and There are two characters I cannot manage to find in unicode. Originally, I tried to find them as Japanese characters, but aparantly, they are not well known in the Japanese language, hence I ask it here. From the first image, it's the first character. I already have the second one (倒), as you can see. From the second image, it's the second character, while I have the first one (剣). Thank you very much for any help!

xiaojiang216 Posted December 8, 2006 at 02:33 AM Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 at 02:33 AM Kennin, Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the first character from the first picture either. However the second character of the second picture is 偬. Hope this makes your search a little less tedious! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennin Posted December 8, 2006 at 05:28 AM Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 at 05:28 AM Thank you VERY much for your effort! Yet... aren't these two different characters? The one I'm looking for is merely the combination of "人" and "忍" while the symbol you posted is a merge of "人" and "怱" which is in some way the opposite, isn't it? "忍" meaning "patience", and "怱" meaning "impatience"... Please forgive my ignorance if I'm mistaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandaxiongmao Posted December 10, 2006 at 02:48 AM Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 at 02:48 AM Based on the pronunciation of the Japanese character, I am guessing the first character in the first picture is 撆. But I have no idea what it actually means... where did these characters originally come from? That might give a clue about the meaning...

Kennin Posted December 11, 2006 at 01:00 AM Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 at 01:00 AM Doesn't seem to be the one either. Both upper radicals are slightly differen. The writings are from a martial arts instruction video. It's a stance, called "heitō no kamae". It's a posture with a bō, the six foot staff.

pandaxiongmao Posted December 11, 2006 at 11:40 AM Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 at 11:40 AM The upper radicals are slightly different, however, I know that 幤 is a variant of 幣. Couldn't reconcile the upper-right radical though. I was also unable to find anything else that looked reasonable when I searched by Japanese On Pronunciation at Unicode.org If it does exist in Unicode, it seems that the documentation on the character is incomplete! Have you asked the people at Mojikyo Institute if the character exists? They seem to be interested in this sort of thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
