Shelley Posted July 9, 2018 at 11:26 AM Report Posted July 9, 2018 at 11:26 AM Hello and welcome to the forum. This a traditional variant of the character 斗 dòu 。 This is the version you have 鬪。 If you notice the vertical strokes are not actually attached to the 王. It does mean fight, struggle, compete, contend. 1 Quote

Shelley Posted July 9, 2018 at 01:01 PM Report Posted July 9, 2018 at 01:01 PM @Publiusfrom your link above does this mean that what the OP found was the kanji (Japanese character)? Quote
Publius Posted July 9, 2018 at 01:12 PM Report Posted July 9, 2018 at 01:12 PM Yes, very likely. Quote
dwq Posted July 9, 2018 at 01:23 PM Report Posted July 9, 2018 at 01:23 PM Just let me point out that the whole character 鬪 being a variant form of the "outer character" 鬥 and having the same meaning is a rare case and shouldn't be expected of in other characters. Quote
