After a lot of research, I found the outer character means "Fight" but can't seem to find the full meaning. Many thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted July 9, 2018 at 11:26 AM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelley Posted July 9, 2018 at 01:01 PM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwq Posted July 9, 2018 at 01:23 PM Report Share 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.
