I am need of the symbol/s for "Keeper Of Souls" asap. A friend of mine needs this sooner rather
than later and I was told this site is the best to find symbols.

Also, I was given the pinyin: gou4 yun2 shi4 zhe3.......where can I turn this into a picture of
the symbol?

I can't think of anything like "gou4 yun2 shi4 zhe3". One term of not too different pronunciation
is "勾魂使者" (gōu hún shǐzhě ), but it looks like this.

BTW, those are called Chinese characters, not symbols.

The film of the same name was translated as 灵魂守护者. That's more guard, protect, than
keep, although it's obviously fairly close. Is it a 'Here, keep my soul for a minute while I pop
to the toilet' kind of situation, or a grander 'While I am the Keeper of the Souls none shall harm
them' kind of idea?

I think this may be intended as a tattoo. If so, "勾魂使者" as suggested by skylee may be what
is wanted, meaning perhaps something like: "soul catching devil/ messenger".

More like a "jinx" to me.

lighter.http://image.baidu.com/i?ct=50331648...m=-1&pn=1&rn=1
