I'm looking for help with finding a meaning of this kanji:

http://www.aikidojadran.com/images/unknown.jpg

That's either a very sloppily written 口 (mouth), 母 (mother) with missing
strokes, or an absolutely meaningless scribble. Where did you get the
kanji from? Can you post a picture of the original source text?

It looks like it has three strokes. If you rotate it so the stroke
that looks like an angle has its vertex center left, then the two
strokes that are lines complete the kanji for onna or woman. If my
guess is correct, the kanji is a little sloppy but not as much as if
it were supposed to depict kuchi (mouth) or haha (mother).
