Can anyone read this Chinese (?) symbol?

This character looks very similar to the character for 'English':



The above is actually from a Japanese kanji website, however the Chinese character is exactly the same.

However, you will note that there is an additional stroke below the first three strokes at the top, while the lowest two strokes are written slightly differently.

I have attempted to 'draw' the character using HanziDict, however did not have any success, I'm afraid.  The stroke order is very important in Chinese/Japanese character writing, yet after trying all possible combinations, the applet was unable to recognise it.

Good luck with your search!

motorollin,

Actually, the Japanese 'kanji' character set is based on Chinese.  However in addition to these characters, there are also Hiragana and Katakana symbols that are not used in Chinese.

Hiragana and Katakana characters are typically less complicated than most Kanji due to the reduced number of strokes.

Good luck with the rest of your search!

Cheers,
James
