Hope, faith and love

**Mycernius** · Aug 22, 2006, 23:53

Could someone please tell me what the kanji is for Hope, faith and love? I saw some kanji tattooed on someones neck and he told me that is what it said. I am a little dubious about it because the middle wasn't a kanji symbol, but the hiragana for "Da". He seems to think it is right as he looked it up in a kanji dictionary at the tattooists and a chinese girl told him it was right. I did point out that just looking at a symbol in a dictionary is not a good thing as they can have more than one meaning when put together.

Thanks for the quick reply. It seems that he has something that he doesn't know tattoed on his skin, because they look nothing like that.
