中文新手 Posted July 2, 2008 at 08:07 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 at 08:07 PM Hi! Can anyone tell me what this traditional character is? It's part of the title to a 1930's Shanghai poster that I have. I've been able to translate all the other characters but this one's got me stumped. Any help much appreciated.

skylee Posted July 2, 2008 at 11:20 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 at 11:20 PM It's 粧 as in 化粧 (make-up). The word is a variant of 妝. Take a look -> http://cdict.net/?q=%F9%DB http://hk.dictionary.yahoo.com/list.html?s=%F9%DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
中文新手 Posted July 3, 2008 at 01:36 AM Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 at 01:36 AM Thank you, Skylee! 双美人牌化粧品 (Twin Beauty Cosmetics Brand). Makes perfect sense now. I can't believe I couldn't find this variant of 粧 in any of my Chinese dictionaries. And thank you for the links. I've saved both of them.
