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.

Same in both

Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Standing together as one body. The Chinese word is exact, and it is also a political slogan.
Before you commit
Choose with care團結 is heavily used in political slogans on both sides of the strait, most famously 團結就是力量, unity is strength. It will read as public and collective, not as personal loyalty.
Pairs well with一心 or 同心 if you mean solidarity between two people or a small group. Both say united without the banner and the loudspeaker.
At small sizesFourteen strokes plus twelve, and the first is fully boxed. Enclosed characters fill in when small, so allow room.
Meaning
Solidarity; unity; holding together as a group.
The precise word, and instantly understood by every reader.
Other characters for “solidarity”
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.
