It has the kanji 愛 which means love.

switch, im working on a design. how would you say "14 years waiting" in japanese? Hope you can share it here once you're done! You can say: 待ち続けて14年 = 14 years waiting Some similar alternatives: 前作から14年を経て = 14 years on since the previous game 2作目から14年ぶりの復活 = Making a return 14 years sinc...
