imron Posted July 11, 2007 at 05:09 AM Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 at 05:09 AM Ah ok, now I see it. Initially I didn't look at the enlarged image, just the small thumbnail, and I didn't see that the middle vertical stroke (what becomes the right-hand vertical stroke of 耳) extends so far. It kind of disappears in the thumbnail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trien27 Posted July 21, 2007 at 04:03 PM Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 at 04:03 PM it's a combination of characters. qu[to take: character as a whole]? ren[person: 2 strokes in middle]? Maybe it's an attempt to duplicate an existing ancient Chinese character into something fancy[to please someone who's oblivious to the Chinese language]? Badly modified character. Or maybe the creator is trying to combine different Chinese calligraphic styles into one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
