   Gorgeous! I love the way that the stroke order (and shape of each letter) is used to make the character. I didn’t actually see the letters, although they’re perfectly clear, until I clicked the link and saw it at a larger size.

   Check out the work of Scott Kim. Some of his “inversions” are similar, readable in English/Hebrew (see “Elise Esther Diamond”), English/Japanese (see “origami”), etc.

   That page has links to other “ambigram” artists, too.

   It’s definitely pretty looking, but I wouldn’t have recognized that as the character for “horse” unless you told me.

   “It’s definitely pretty looking, but I wouldn’t have recognized that as the character for “horse” unless you told me.”

   Same — I think it’s the “S” stroke…
