Lu Posted April 29, 2006 at 03:28 PM Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 at 03:28 PM It's actually not a real character, it's several characters with auspicious meanings merged to one character. Sissi mentions the four characters: 招财进宝, meaning something like 'wealth is welcome, treasures come in'. I've seen it as a Chinese new year wish, calligraphed on red paper.
