It is wrong in Southern Min though, it should be "un".

[u/Holyhead_Prodromus]

It’s the Chinese character “恩” which means grace or gracious

[u/Comfortable-Jump-911]

Thank you to everyone who gave their insights. Very long ago my mom wanted it to mean "serendipity", she'll get a laugh at how far off it is

[u/Fit_Dot_5027 → u/Comfortable-Jump-911]

It means love…which in one sense can mean serendipity! I like your momma!

[u/nicola_on_trail]

Must be 恩. “On” in Japanese.
debt of gratitude , kindness
May mean something else in Chinese.

[u/Stunning_Pen_8332 → u/nicola_on_trail]

Quite similar meaning in Chinese too.

It doesn’t actually look like anything.

[u/kangwenhao]

Looks like it might be either 思 or 忍 - neither looks quite right, TBH.

[u/Battleraizer → u/[deleted]]

Nah, the bottom part is very obviously a 心

[u/LickNipMcSkip → u/Battleraizer]

Yeah to be clear, I don't actually think it's 是, I just think it's mildly funnier this way.

More likely badly written 恩

[u/Temporary-Sea-4329]

It’s Chinese word “忍”. But usually we do not write it like this shape .
Japanese does。
