    Chinese symbol, not Japanese and it just means “love” not “intense love” lol I’m just being picky for the sake of it. Watermelon, eh? Interesting.

        Oh, how funny, Robin. I was just nitpicking out of sheer borefom 🙂 I’m taking inventory right now and it is the least favourite part of my job.

          Oh, I prefer nitpicking — best to be factually correct if nothing else! I wonder what the original press materials say — do not think Cosmoty would have written that if it wasn’t in the original press materials?

          And my sympathies for the inventory!

      Well, I read and write both Mandarin Chinese and Japanese, and the character is acceptable in both languages as love:

      Chinese: http://goodcharacters.com/chinese.symbol.for.love.html

      Japanese: http://waktattoos.com/id38594/for-different-ways-to-write-the-japanese-kanji-character-love-400×400-pixel.html

      Now to nitpick it’s true that Japanese classifies the character as a part of the kanji system, words originated from Mandarin. In mainland China the character has been simplified, but I learned the traditional Mandarin system. In Japanese the verb conjugations are a bit more complicated than the Mandarin, but then the character itself works just fine.

      Now technically Chinese (the language) denotes Cantonese, technically a dialect from China spoken mainly in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and I have seen the same character being accepted at least in Hong Kong as well.
