I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I'm looking for the Chinese Characters for "Dragon" and "Phoenix" I did some searching on the web but I was not able to find much. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Oops,

OUMoose, the charecters you post for pheonix are correct for current Japanese. But they used to have a god awfully complex one charecter way of writing it. Of course, they got rid of it after the war.

Chinese probably still uses the old, one- charecter version. I don't know where to point you for an example.
