I need some help, gosh do I need some help!! Can anyone help me with oriental symbols? I have searched google & can not find anything that I can print out. I need the following symbols:
Hope, Love, Joy, & maybe Peace
I would appreciate the help! If anyone can point me in the right directions that would be good too! 
Thank you soooo much!! ~TC~

thanks for posting the two you did.
could you post all of them to the templates gallery so we all can have access if we ever need them?
This may not be contributing a whole lot, but I recently did a cake with Japanese writing for a childs birthday. It's in my gallery under Cherry Blossoms. The first line of characters reads Happy Birthday and the second line is the child's name ( Riley, in case anyone was curious).
The characters were provided to me by a women of Japanese descent.
BTW, the calligraphy that was posted above is in "simplied" Chinese characters versus "complex" characters. As background, the Communist had a movement to simply Chinese writing so that the masses could be literate, so they "simplified" the writing. Simplified characters eliminated lots of strokes from the original character. For decorating purposes, I think that complex characters look better, but it depends what your customer wants. If you're doing this cake for a Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Chinese American (early immigrant) customer, complex characters are more appropriate.
Don't know if this will help but here's a site for Japanes KANJI

SugaplumStudio, I checked out your cake and it's beautiful. I really love the Japanese Cherry Blossoms! Just one question. Here you say it's Japanese and under the photo, Chinese. Which one is it actually? I figured it's Japanese, but wanted to double check.
I have been trying to post in the templates but it keeps telling me its not an image and won't post is there something I'm doing wrong. I'll try again later.
Thanks everyone!! I haven't gotten any notices/emails on anyone posting to this topic. I haven't gotten notices of topics after I comment to them at all. Go figure! Sharon thank you so much for your emails!!! Ya'll have been very helpful!!
Oh.. I did find some on google but they wouldn't let me copy them. So that's where I was having the problems~
Thanks again!!
TCturtle, do you have your preferences set for you to be notified? Under My Forum Info there's a prefence box. Check it out and make sure your settings are "correct" so that you can be notified when you get responses. HTH
Yepper I do~ 
A lot of members aren't getting notices to the posts they comment on. I guess it's just technical difficulties Thanks though~ LOL... I did get an email this time~
Here's the finished cake... Let me know what ya'll think http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&pos=-199763
You're welcome. (Sort of figured you probably had your settings correct, but wanted to make sure you were sure ).
Your cake came out great! I really like the way you incorporated the Asian symbols. Nice!
