External Source or Image for the Symbol

Hi, 'ROESian. I noticed your addition to The Symbol - great stuff! I was wondering if you could provide either an external source for the kanji symbols, or at least a picture. That'd really be great stuff. Thanks! :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:52, 24 January 2007 (EST)

• Hey there RGS- Everything I've put together so far about the kanji characters, which Ando says are combined to make The Symbol, "Sai" and "Yo", can be found redirected from this "snipped" url. I've listed a few websites that tell about those kanji characters, as well as one site that, with a java applet, I think, actually illustrates the order and direction of the strokes to produce each character. The text below the second set of strokes is set up as a link for some reason, and there are other formatting bugs that I have to figure out, but the rest of the information and urls seem to be working properly. There are some images of the kanji and two sets of screencaps from Godsend- one where Hiro is talking about Takezo Kensai and the other where Ando talks about the Symbol on the sword, which, I've learned, is called a "menuki", by the way. The meanings of the characters, which are found from the captions when Ando says the names of the characters, indicate that TPTB want Sai to mean Great Talent and Yo to mean Godsend. Take whatever you need, if any of the images or links to the sites are suitable. At least from what I've put together, you should be able to assemble something that works best for this wiki. (Tangent...) Do you know who is involved with the NBC HEROES wiki? It looked like when I last visited that submissions could only be sent to nbcskampy or something, but how do people sign up? The user list has increased from 20 members since Monday; does it depend on knowing a sysop or bureaucrat (or whatever the proper term for the person who creates accounts is)? - 'ROESian 13:27, 24 January 2007 (EST)
  • Thanks for the sites on the kanji symbols - I'll troll around and see what I can find...

    As for the NBC wiki, a lot of people seem to be reporting problems with it. (There's a bit of discussion about it here, and other random places throughout the site.) It's odd to me that they require submissions to be approved - seems kind of counterproductive. That's about all I know about the NBC wiki. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:36, 24 January 2007 (EST)
