Many thanks to anyone who knows.
I'm guessing it is relatively common,
but i do not know what it means,
or how to properly google search a symbol. xD

四? four?

that's about all I can think of.

That looks pretty close, except the symbol i'm thinking of, on the left side, instead of a curve, it is a straight line, with the curve on the left. Like a sideways T
The symbol i'm looking at was hand drawn, so maybe it is 4, but the difference between a curve and a line is often substantial. >.>

Lol. I don't think I'm of much help. Do you have like a photo that you could post or something?

Can you give more context? Where was it drawn, who was it drawn for, and why wad it drawn?

Handwriting and print do tend to differ...
You can draw the symbol yourself and upload it here to make it easier for everyone to "picture" it.
After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.

It's on a picture of a hand giving the middle finger, so i won't post THAT here. xD
And err... it was sent to me. >.>
So maybe not a good thing, but i want to be sure of the context.

Whoa! That does not look like any Chinese/Japanese character I've seen...
Either it's simply not, or it's overly stylized.

Actually, can I see the picture? Not that I want to see the middle finger, lol, but I'm determined to find out if it is an actual character...
(Just hide the picture with the spoiler button if you don't want it to be visible to those who might be offended.)

For sure now that is not a character lol.
It could be a stamp signature, seeing how it's shaped a square and colored red.
