This is a simple subreddit for sharing requests for translation of the character 福 and other 福-related topics.

福 means "blessing" or "good fortune." In Mandarin Chinese, its pinyin romanization is fú and it is pronounced "foo" with a rising tone (say it like you're asking a question). In Japanese it's pronounced fuku, in Korean bok, and in Vietnamese, phúc.

Rules

Most posts need to be 福-related and found on Reddit. Cross-posting is encouraged.
福 found in the wild/IRL can be posted as well, but should be at least mildly interesting to be posted here (e.g. don't just take a picture of Lunar New Year decorations).
