A heavy black rectangular border frames the whole sign, and within it sits the Chinese character 竹 (bamboo) above the numerals 3 and 2. Nothing is decorative. The character and figures are set cleanly against the white, so the sign reads at a glance, like the signage you pass at speed on a highway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe character 竹 stands for bamboo, a plant that appears throughout Taiwanese landscape and culture, and the numbers 3 and 2 give the sign its route identity. Together they make a wayfinding marker: the kind of symbol that tells you where you are and which road you are on. The design takes its cue from the functional, modern language of Taiwan's road signage, where clarity matters more than ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for the Mug Turned in the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is handled and turned, so the sign rewards a slow look. As the cup rotates, the black frame runs around the curve and the bamboo character and numerals come into view one after another, the way a driver picks out a route marker from the corner of an eye. It makes a cheeky, quietly knowing gift for anyone who has ever followed a Taiwan road sign, or who simply likes their coffee with a sense of direction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53159636926744,"sku":"GMY-MUG-TWTHW-11OZ-1FKG8","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53159636959512,"sku":"GMY-MUG-TWTHW-15OZ-1FKG8","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/tw-thwhc32-taiwan-road-sign-white-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-TWTHW-11OZ-1FKG8-front.webp?v=1793907777","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/tw-thwhc32-taiwan-road-sign-white-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
