Is there a Japanese symbol for the Zaurus?
If so, does it look like an English number 3 with a curl at the bottom? Please excuse my ignorance. |

I think this means Zaurus in kanji ????. Hopefully, you have same fonts as me so you can see it.
When I browse the Yahoo! Japan Auctions categories, these symbols lead to the Zaurus goodies. Google's language tools also translates them to Zaurus so, this must be it. EDIT: Well that didn't work out so here is a partial screen capture from my desktop.

There probably is no kanji for Zaurus, but then again I might be wrong. Have to consult the Zaurus manual to vreify that since if there is, then it definately would be written on the manual. |

Thanks Meanie for correcting me. I don't think I'll ever master the asian languages. I'm totally bogged down in the chinese my wife has been teaching me and the kids.

"Zaurus" is a somewhat mangled reference for dinosaur - see "Tyrannosaurus." As such there wouldn't be any kanji for it.
The symbol "like an English number 3 with a curl at the bottom" would be the hiragana "ru". It doesn't have any meaning in and of itself, it's just a letter. |
