Is My Kanji Symbol Correct??

Question

About 3 months ago I got a kanji tattoo with my dad. I just want to make sure that the symbols are correct. I searched a million different websites before I got the tattoo and all of my results were the same. But now I am paranoid that it means something different! The tattoo means father and daughter...well thats what I hope it means...lol. If you could help me I'd really appreciate it. Just show me what the symbols for 'Father and Daughter' would be....Thanks!!!!

Answer 1

left character means father

right character means woman but daughter.

Answer 2

for father and daughter it should be

父と娘

im japanese i know

except it matters if you got the symbol in between the first and the second which means and, but thats not a kanji but a hiragana

the first and the third symbol is the kanji

and it literally means father and daughter

the one the first person gave you, for daughter stands for girl and not daughter

but it matters, it might stand for daughter in the kanji for china, but for japan its 娘 for daughter

Answer 3

Technically, checking beforehand would have been better.

But, 20/20 hindsight, I suppose...

父と女 (literally, "father and daughter")

If those aren't the symbols you have, what you can do is draw them using the handwriting recognition on this site: http://www.nciku.com/

It's a Chinese site, but kanji borrow a lot from Chinese, so just use it to get the typed version of that character, and then copy/paste it into this dictionary to see what it means: http://jisho.org/

Alternatively, take a picture of your tattoo and post it on Yahoo! Answers. We'll help you translate it!

Edit: I see the pic, and yep, you're good! :)

Answer 4

父と女
