renard Posted March 8, 2008 at 08:55 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 at 08:55 AM A friend wears this tattoo: It originates from a book that his brother saw in the library and supposedly it's meaning is 'victory'. Anyway, having looked up this word and some others of similar meanings (win, gain, power, strenght) az zhongwen.com, I couldn't find any character to be reminiscent of this one. I presumed to recognize the shapes 日, 白 or 百 in the tattoo, but seeking among their derivatives gave no result as well. Can anyone please help me? Thanks in advance.

skylee Posted March 8, 2008 at 11:59 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 at 11:59 AM I don't recognise it. I believe it is one of those characters invented by tattoo "artists". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgna2000 Posted March 8, 2008 at 10:48 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 at 10:48 PM Even native Chinese don't recognize this symbol. It looks like a 反 in tradtional character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted March 9, 2008 at 01:12 PM Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 at 01:12 PM I'm sorry to say that this character doesn't exist. Not even remotely. If I had to say it looked like anything, I'd say 海 sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
