So, i'm pretty much an absolute beginner, and I've been taking my time trying to learn the language via reading manga, translating what I read piece by piece, just treating it like a puzzle.. However, I've run into something of a mystery character...
I've tried looking through all kanji radicals, hiragana, katakana; but no luck.
Now, I can't link the character because it was hand written, so i'll do my best to describe it to you :
It essentially looked like an equal sign(=), but it was turned vertically..The characters were written in columns.. So i'm wondering.. Is this just the equals sign? Or does it mean something else? Oh, and i'm certain it isn't "リ" because this same character was handwritten right next to the mystery character and it looked completely different...
I should also note I saw this same vertical equal character multiple times in the same column.
