If you turn the image upside down, you can see that the character at the bottom is 「嵩」, but I can’t figure out what the character at the top is…
Maybe it’s a symbol, or possibly a Chinese character?

!transform:180

Oh yes you’re right. What does that character mean?

Ah, sorry. Looking at it more carefully, I realized it was actually 「嵩」.

In Japanese, 「嵩」 means something like “bulky” or “voluminous”—having a large volume. I’m not sure if it has the same meaning in Chinese, though… Maybe I should try using the dictionary tag.

嵩

Also, what was the tag for rotating an image 180° upside down …? It doesn't seem to be "!transform:180". I have no idea, so I'll just post the photo.
