Well, I'm working on a Kaylee costume for the upcomeing DragonCon and as I was surfing pictures and screenshots just to make sure I'm getting everything as close to right as I can (I'm hand makeing all 3 patches and altering my jumpsuit as such) but in one picture I came across a chinese symbol on her right leg pictured here ->

So, my question is does anyone know what symbol it is and what its meaning is? And also does anyone have a clearer picture of it? I want to copy it onto my jumpsuit

Sorry it took so long to respond to this...I just noticed it. I just recently finished a Kaylee jumpsuit for my wife, and had fun with the Chinese symbols. Whereabouts is that one located on her jumpsuit? That might help me figure out which one it is...
I seem to be having problems with my email today...if I don't respond here, try PMing me or emailing my directly at tristan71@cableone.net

I lived in Taiwan a couple of years and minored in chinese while in college so I might be able to figure it out. So far I can decipher part of it for you. The very bottom i can't make out good enough.

I think I figured out that character. Then I went to find a definition for it and its kinda funny. It describes her character:
1. A joyful thing; joy; delight
2. to like; to love; to be fond of
3. joyful; happy; delightful; pleasant; auspicious

The only problem I'm having is pasting the character in this window :(

- that is the character

In PinYin it is xi (sounds like she, except the i/e dips in sound) it doesn't truly mean anything, but it sort of means happiness. The symbol above is correct.
(chinese is my 2nd language)


"Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket..."

Actually there is a series of symbols on that pocket.

See a pic of it here:



Anyone have any good ideas on a fairly accurate jumpsuit that would need little modification (except maybe removing sleeves and adding patches). I found one that has the exposed zipper, but it did not have the proper leg pockets. www.dickiesgirl.com And that one is way too small for me too. Ugh! They make everything for people who are like size zero.

It just seems that hers looks almost like leather and that look is very difficult to find.

Hope your jumpsuit came out great!
