Go â wÃ©iqÃ, igo, baduk - Signs In Their Respective Languages

Yesterday a friend and I talked about creating Go stickers, so I made a chart with ‪#‎baduk‬, ‪#‎wéiqí‬ and ‪#‎igo‬ in different fonts available on my Mac, maybe this is useful for others.

baduk‬ - Korean: 바둑
igo‬ - Japanese: 囲碁
wéiqí‬ - traditional Chinese: 圍棋; simplified Chinese: 围棋

(Does your operating system display the ideograms? I found them on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game))

Do you know of any images of brush/pen calligraphy of these which are free to use without licensing, attribution, etc.?

Answering myself because I want to make sure my question will be noticed, forgive me

OR, if not a calligraphy, perhaps some beautiful calligraphic fonts which support Chinese (trad. and/or simplified), Japanese, Korean? (TrueType or OpenType)

You would make me very happy

LOL, Ed, did you watch the three or five edits of my comment, or why this?

Makes me feel warm and fuzzy, thank you!

Hi Tom,

I didn't notice any edits.
Just the attention to the details, like wéiqí.

OK

I hate it if others notice my many OCDs

Heh, usually I write “weiqi”, and what you saw above was just my (edited) copy/paste from that Wikipedia page, but now that I had to pay attention to details it’s easy for me to just type “wéiqí”.

Nice of you to notice

and I meant it from the deep trenches of my dark soul when I mentioned the warm and fuzzy feelings it gave me.
I like to do things “right” when I do them, which is actually part of a problem in my life … I call that “perfcuktionism”, because I have so high measures* for myself that I often don’t do things I’d like to do, or I begin and don’t finish — because I don't have the time to do them perfectly. Like that reply to a friendly person that I wanted to write a few days ago already but never got to it b/c I wanted to spend some more time on it …

* When alleging “high measures” I must of course take the Dunning-Kruger Effect into account … because “high measures” are for nothing if one doesn't get things done. Now that I’m an elderly man I wish I had spent as much energy on actually doing things as I dreamed of doing things.
