ㄇㄢˇ ㄗㄨˊ mǎn zú

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.

Layout

The settled feeling of having got what you needed. Chinese distinguishes being filled up from being pleased with how things turned out.

Before you commit

Choose with care滿足 can also mean satisfying an appetite or a demand, and in some contexts it implies being easily contented. It is warm but not especially admiring.

Pairs well with知足 for contentment as a virtue, 心滿意足 for being wholly satisfied in heart and mind - a common and well-liked four-character phrase.

At small sizesFourteen strokes beside seven. 滿 is dense on the right under the water radical and needs room; 足 stays clean at any size.

Meaning

Satisfaction; to be satisfied, to have had enough and be content.

The exact word for the feeling, from a good meal to a good year.

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.
