Symbol


My wife received a bracelet with this symbol on it. This was my brother?s wife?s bracelet. She died of cancer a few years ago. My wife would like to know what this stands for. If anyone can tell me I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm pretty sure ( 90%) that the char you have shown is chinese.

If you're an IT guy, why don't you know how to resize images? Seriously, there's no need for it to be that big.

Weird, in Japanese we read it as "fuku". It means the same thing, wealth/fortune/riches.
