What is the most complicated character you've ever seen? For me, this one takes the cake: Link Which is a 57 stroke chinese character "Biang." The unfortunate thing is that there is a type of noodle called a Biang Biang Noodle, so this character must be written twice to write it! Wikipedia

Yeah, but what about the most complicated character (more or less) commonly used in Japan, then? As far as I know it's 鬱（うつ, low spirits), but maybe somebody on this forum knows an even cooler one?
