Translation of "dragon"

[med1972]

I have a friend who was sent a gift from China. The gift has an image of a dragon on it, and a single kanji character. They were told the character meant "dragon" or "wood dragon". I've searched through all the kanji dictionaries I could find and I could *not* find the character they have. I found other characters for "dragon", "imperial dragon", the dragon zodiac sign etc. Most of them are pretty involved ... a reasonably large stroke count.

The character they have has a stroke count of only 5. I'll try to describe the character (I can maybe try drawing it and putting it on my website if that would be more useful): the character has three parts:

1. a "cross" character occupying the left and top of the character box
2. a "tick" in the top right
3. a two stroke radical in the lower right which look like a more "flowed" version of: http://www.chinalanguage.com/cgi-bin/bu ... w=frequent

In fact, the character in question looks very much like:

http://www.chinalanguage.com/cgi-bin/vi ... se,english

but with an additional "tick" in the top right, near the intersection of the two strokes of the top and left component.

Any ideas on what this is?

The character means 'dragon', it is the simplified Chinese character form.
