I was looking for calligraphy type Chinese character for compassion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawei Posted September 1, 2016 It seems a common single character to use to denote compassion in calligraphy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dust Posted September 3, 2016 For a tattoo? Whatever it's for, as someone who loves Chinese characters (and, in case it is a tattoo, someone who loves good tattoos) and in the interest of all, you can find some excellent ancient calligraphy on http://www.shufazidian.com/ Just paste in the character you want (in this case 慈 ) and choose a writing style from the dropdown menu. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
