(Somewhat unrelated but what are those kanjis? I guess the lower one is 文? Is
the upper one just a variation of the same kanji or is it a different one? -
_Sorry, I'm illiterate when it comes to kanji._ )

I assume that to an English reader the kanji here doesn't matter much and I
think any non-english symbol would pass (at least in the right context), but
for a Japanese reader? Are those kanji a Chinese thing only perhaps or
recognized in all kanji-using countries?

And most importantly: Would it be weird to use those on a Japanese website?

Thanks for your help!

question
meaning kanji
Would a japanese person recognize this icon (fa-language) to represent translation or language change?
The lower one is indeed 文, a kanji meaning _sentence_ or _text_. The icon
makes perfect sense to Japanese audience, too. The upper one is not a kanji I
know, but it looks like a [Korean consonant
ㅊ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GuM4LBBsVQ) (it probably does not have its
own meaning). If you only target at Japanese audience, I recommend you use the
lower one.
