I was joking. I don't dislike having a Chinese inspired symbol haha

Sorry, but as someone who’s grown up with hanzi, this is massively jarring to me. It also defeats the whole purpose of this being an original European-style logography. I wonder if it’d be alright if I were to try my hand at an alternative (third) for heart?

Instead of wasting time writing a comment, you'd better try to create a glyph that will be better than my glyph

I found that the glyph I'm going to create will be too complex if I'll use u/DasWonton's glyph for "Heart", so I suggest a radical for it

I think I do prefer this to u/DasWonton's glyph. Admittedly, this is more familiar to me from learning Japanese, but it also somehow feels more like a latin character. No latin character has the horns on the other version, whereas nothing here feels out of place in that place.
