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.

Script

Characters

Layout

Putting up with difference, or with people who irritate you.

Before you commit

Choose with care容 also means appearance or face, as in 容貌 and 笑容. Alone it is ambiguous; 寬容 says tolerance without doubt.

Pairs well with寬容 for tolerance. 包容 is accepting people as they are, and is the warmer of the two.

At small sizesTen strokes under a roof radical. The crowded middle fills in when inked small.

Meaning

To contain; to accept; to allow.

Room enough inside you for something you did not choose.

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.
