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 :o ) 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!

Now just to figure out how to write the sign for Strenght:P

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