Help with Kanji

Hi, I was just Wondering if anyone here could help me out with some Kenji "problems"?

I can't figure out how to write the signs for the number 88, 85 and 90, and the sign for strenght, I think I know how the sign for strenght looks like, but I'm not quite sure.

Would try to make a tattoo out of it, with the sign for strenght, (if it is as I think it is) with the sign for each number inside in each corner, wich represents the year of birth for me, and my brothers.

Edit: figured out the sign for Strenght, or "Chikara" (力).
But Is there anyone here that knows the sign for unity, or fellowship? or something that fits into a tatto that is supposed to represent me and my two brothers, and our familiy bonds?

Hi!
These are the kanji for the numbers:

一 1 ichi
二 2 ni
三 3 san
四 4 shi/yon
五 5 go
六 6 roku
七 7 shichi/nana
八 8 hachi
九 9 kyû
十 10 jû

So 88 is 八十八 (8-10-8, hachi jû hachi)
So 90 is 九十 (9-10, kyû jû)
So 85 is 八十五 (8-10-5, hachi jû go)

I unfortunately don't know the kanji for strenght (not even the japanese word, I'm not so advanced).

I hope that will be Ok for you for the numbers.

That helped alot, unfortunatly I don't know how to write kanji with my computer, if so I would have written what I think it is, as I think it looks kinda like a triangle, not quite, but kinda. and if so, I would like to have that on my underarm, with the 3 numbers representing me and my 2 brothers in each "inner" corner

Well, you could cut and paste them from my answer to a MsWord document (you just need the MS Mincho font to be able to see them). I've made a MsWord 2000 model with about one hundred kanji, but it had small errors (especially on the number section! too bad, I had to cut and paste too to answer you

) so I don't give you the link. Anyway, take a look on the 'japanese language help' section of this forum, you'll certainly find ways to enable kanji writing on your computer!

The kanji for family is 家族 (kazoku)... I dunno the one for unity though.
