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? :-D 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 :-D I hate it if others notice my many OCDs :roll:

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.
