A Chinese character for ‘Mechora'.
It is similar to ‘this aspiration, to be universal, is an achievement, which is everything’, written as ‘Korean sea cancels wind' ( 한국 해 취소 )
The only image I could find for this was:

CONTINUED EXAMPLES:

Something not literal in a higher sense.
Perfectly beautiful or somewhat different.
How long I'd have to travel to realize such a small thing.
Maybe something about: Programmable Heuristics
Categories.
Vertical = entity, value, principle, power.
Horizontal = degree, standard, commonality, honor.
Diagonal: judgment, energy, resources, substance.
Organic lines: coherence, boundary, dimensions, limit.
Systems: identities.
Substance: quanta, bosons, spacetime, posits.
Abstracta: complexity, efficiency, perfection, beauty
Organon: Nature, Wisdom.
Flags: Inflection, Incorporation, Notation, Tradition.

CRITICISM:
It would have to include misfiring neurons.
Beauty begins to look like an anus and similar things.
Hairy things, runes… it might have something.
Different interpretations.

CRITICISM:
This would give overall a kind of Leibnizian ‘choice of goods': the analytic, the synthetic a priori, the universal, and integral. This describes the causes in the calculus. The universal is a visual descriptor, the calculus is an escapement, and the analytic and synthetic are fundamental. --Implications of Leibniz's Identity of Indiscernibles, Part 1
The thing about characteristica is it can be understood consciously or unconsciously. The reader always at least understands it unconsciously. It's always understood in the origin, but may be objectively mistranslated to suit the reader's interpretation of the actual meaning, which is already revealed by seeing a characteristic symbol. The mistranslation becomes an objective, yet secondary translation of the actual meaning because all significance of the original is honest. What the person thinks of the symbol is what they think of the idea. At worst, the reader becomes psychic, at best the reader fully understands the idea.
It's about circumventing the necessity for (intermediary) authority.
“I can't shake the notion that it is something similar to Chinese.” --Y Yang
“Although [Leibniz IQ 200] had resigned himself to the fact that unaided he could never accomplish such a thing, he never lost sight of this goal, thinking and writing about it throughout his life.” --Martin Davis, The Universal Computer
Kant proposed 12 categories: unity, plurality, and totality for concept of quantity; reality, negation, and limitation, for the concept of quality; inherence and subsistence, cause and effect, and community for the concept of relation; and possibility-impossibility, existence-nonexistence, and necessity and contingency for the concept of modality. He derived all of them by deductively working backwards until he could go no further. The categories, in other words, represented the very bottom level of conceptual organization. In addition to the categories, Kant proposed two innate intuitions: space and time.
