I would like to know what these symbols mean and if it's a one way print. I'm trying to decide if it's appropriate for what I have in mind. Not that it would say it... but I don't want something like 'Buttwipe' on a gift for someone. :p Unless it actually is to be used for that purpose (which this project will not).

Thanks!

It is a one way print. You need to rotate it 90 degrees so that the portion on the right (where the date stamp is) is on the bottom. I don't know if that helps any, but that way the characters are in the correct orientation.

That does help. :) Now I just need to make sure the symbols don't say 'fool' and what not. :p

There used to be a bunch of people here that knew all this stuff. Now I scared them all away. :wah: (There is my little self thrown pity party, 'cause I'm sick and I can do that... cause I said so!)

Yup, the left edge is "up". I see "double happiness" and "good luck". It's been a long time, and I'd have to get out my dictionary for the others, but I think you're safe.:)
