First character is ‘female’

女

But my Chinese isn’t good enough to understand if the second character is one single character or two overlapping characters (seven July? - it’s hard to tell because the metal isn’t exact as the characters are written).

Maybe try asking in a Chinese or translation oriented subreddit?

Do please let us know what it means if no one answers here.

Not sure about Chinese, but looking at it as Japanese compound kanji 嬉 it has two radicals. The first is 女 (woman) and the second is 喜 (take pleasure in).

Thank your for taking the time to answer me and to provide context (even though it’s not my question). It’s very much appreciated.

No worries, not sure why you’re being downvoted - learning languages is hard!

Yes. Learning new languages can be overwhelming at times. This post caught my eye because I’ve been trying to choose between China/Japan/Korea for the next book I write. For downvotes, that’s just Reddit. 🤷🏼😂
