Well, I had a Chinese student today draw the character out for me. It looks much like what's posted above, but not quite.

The word is actually the colour green.

It is pronouce as Lu ...

If you are looking for Prosperity ... you will have to look for the word "Fu" pronounce in mandarin.

Actually, the character you are looking for
is this one:

祿

It does have sort of connotations
of prosperity - generally having good
luck and fortune with money/status, etc.

This character here is the one that
means green... see the difference
in the left radical?

Any chance you can source a slightly larger image of that character?

The webpages that those links go to have

post are actually the Unicode characters...
