You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Chinese and Japanese characters are often similar, as Japanese borrowed its kanji writing system from mainland China. However, in this case, 豊 (pronounced "hou" in most cases) is actually a particular Japanese variation of the Chinese character 豐 (fēng, pronounced "fung") which can also be written 丰 using its simplified character. In both cases, 豊/豐/丰 means "abundant" or "plentiful." I don't believe it's ever used on its own in Japanese, so "abundant" is actually written 豊か (yutaka) and "abundance" is 豊富 (houfu).
For future reference, if you ever need to look up a character (either Japanese or Chinese), there is a Chinese dictionary here that has a handy drawing feature. Just draw the character/kanji as best as you can, and it will allow you convert that drawing into a copy-and-pastable character. Alternatively, you can use this Japanese dictionary to click on the parts of the character (radicals) that you see, and select which one you want.
