Demonic_Duck Posted October 20, 2020 at 09:08 PM Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 at 09:08 PM Fake Chinese character. No genuine components I can pick out (right hand side looks a little like 木, but with an extra stroke). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomsima Posted October 20, 2020 at 11:13 PM Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 at 11:13 PM I believe this is actually perhaps a bad rendering of 殊. I could certainly imagine this being the result of someone asking for 'different in Chinese' at a tattoo parlour... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Kanji (Japanese) are made up of mostly the same building blocks as Hanzi (Chinese). The building block on the left couldn't exist in either. The building block on the right actually could be 尗, but it looks like that doesn't appear in that position in any common character. However... I think @Tomsima may be onto something — it's just that the two halves have become mangled and partially merged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
