Subject:Assistance with Reading Sign Symbols
Posted By: Penny Sun, Feb 28, 2021 IP: 2600:1700:cf00:21c0:
This is a long vertical sign. The first photo are the top symbols, second are the bottom, and the third is a symbol at the top on the right. Can anyone help me with interpreting the symbols? Thanks!

Hi Nagy, I wondered if you could help me to understand why the interpreted symbols and the sign symbols are so different. Thank you for all your help.

Dear Penny,
The inscriptions on the boards are written in calligraphic cursive script, and the marking on the top is written in seal script.
On the PC I can print only their regular (block) script forms.

With regards,
I.Nagy

I see, that makes perfect sense. Thank you for your time again Nagy :-)
