    Please identify these symbols (probably asian in origin)
    Can anybody identify this/these symbol(s)?

    imgur: the simple image sharer

    Source: looks to be stamped, red, with a circle around the symbol(s), on what appears to be a rice-paper painting featuring 2 birds and some flora painted in black paint. I would upload a picture but I do not have access to a camera.

    I've tried various websites that allow you to draw the symbol with the mouse find a match but I could not find one in this way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It is not modern Chinese, I showed it to several of my friends and none of them know what this is.

    *** there is no "Asian writing" there are writing of various nations.

    Even in China, there is Traditional Chinese, that was used about 70 years ago, it is no longer used and most people here can not read it.

    There is also Ancient Chinese, that was used several 100 years ago ( and back 1000's of years) almost no one here in China can read it.

    Few translators will translate anything but the current Chinese.

    Not to say it could not be Japanese, Korean, or another language using similar characters,

    I said that the symbols are probably Asian in origin due more to the style of the artwork they are stamped on, and the fact that they are clearly not phoenetic symbols by any stretch.

    Thanks for your help, your answer at least helps me narrow my search in the future. Thanks again for taking the time, and thank your friends for me as well!
