resourcefulness

謀

ㄇㄡˊ móu

Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.

Characters

Layout

Finding a workable way through with whatever is at hand — cleverness measured by results, not by ideas.

Before you commit

Choose with care謀 on its own can read as scheming, since 陰謀 is conspiracy. In a positive phrase it is fine, but standing alone it is ambiguous.

Pairs well with足智多謀 for abundant resourcefulness, 應變 for handling the unexpected.

At small sizes謀 is sixteen strokes split into two crowded halves; the right side loses definition when small. Consider 才, which is only three strokes.

Meaning

To devise a plan; the capacity to work a way out.

In 足智多謀 it is exactly the resourceful mind that always has another plan.

What to do next

Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
