Default Blood Painting Asian Symbols

I was farming in Naphui Quarter to get my Green Bow of Beastkeeper until I arrive at this place and got lag on these bloody (perhaps red paint) symbols. Someone knows what these Asian symbols means? I try to find some other places where we can find some too. If not, thanks for the reply

Don't think they mean anything, hehe. I certainly can't read them (native Chinese, but my actual grasp of the language is shoddy). I doubt they're Chinese, if anything, because the strokes aren't right for Chinese characters. They're probably just for show.

If its for show, ok then, I will forget that. But the only thing I can say is I found this only in Naphui Quarter (Explorable) when I go to beat the BeastKeeper. I dont find nowhere else. If its not Chinese, maybe another language. If not, then it just for a graffiti show done by gangs (Jade Brotherhood I'm sure for that).



(Maybe these symbols are to bring the ultimate Henchment: Gwen ).... joke

They remind me of Kanji, which is Japanese. Seeing as Canthan is a blend of many asian pacific cultures, I wouldn't be surprised if the characters were totally made up. I see them everywhere around the main city. I would think the Am Fah did them, seems more like their style than that of the Jade Brotherhood.

Kanji is actually Chinese. It refers to the Chinese characters the Japanese borrowed from the Chinese language.
But ya I think they are made up too, you can find other made up Asian characters in the manuscript too.

Both my girlfriend (chinees) and a friend (japanees) cant make any thing of it.
My friend sas one of the symbol looks more a really badly writing 1 and the other more something around the Hitler symbol. (no offensive meaning)
We all 3 doubt that was the idea behind them. Im just thinking they painted it just for fun. Like graffitti in all bigger cities.
