It could also represent the roman numeral of 100.

As of now I agree, though the operation required to make the center of this glyph into a defined number could become rather interesting. e as you have defined it is an irrational number (continues to infinity without any pattern) and finding a suitable place to round off the constant could be interesting.

There has been some discussion about this and it is my belief that it is chinese/japanese for the number 8.

You're correct. It is held by many that this number is sumerian (or babylonian, can't remember which) for 14.

The problem now is to figure out what the big plus sign in the center represents. I think it's some kind of operator, but I have no idea what kind of operator.
