Notes to answerer

Asker: Its a tattoo, was told it means prosperity. i don't think it does but wanted clarification to exactly what the meaning is.

27 mins confidence:

fight,or war?

Explanation:
This kanji by itself is rarely used in the Japanese language. It is usually writtent together to mean something as phrases such as 戦争、戦い、戦略、戦闘、etc. Maybe you ought to consult a Chinese translator for its true meaning.

Asker: Thats great thankyou.

25 days confidence:

battle

Explanation:
The character can mean battle or war as already mentioned. The picture looks like it's a tattoo, and I would be inclined to use 'battle' in this case.
