[Facts] Re: Kanji Info for Yoko
in reply to a message by SilverDragon
The kanji which means "positive" (unfortunately I do not know how to copy it here) also means "sun"; both are correct translations of that kanji. It is also the "yang" of "yin-yang." So it is merely a matter of how that kanji is translated. The meaning "positive" should probably be added to this site. "Ocean" is a different kanji.
