Messenger of Heaven in Chinese / Japanese...

天使 is the meaning of Angel in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.

The first character means heaven. The second means messenger. Together it makes sense that we are talking about angels as Heaven's Messengers.

If you are an “Angel Junkie,” this may be the wall scroll for you.
I also think it's a great choice if your name happens to be Angel.

大天使 is the title Archangel in Chinese characters, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.

The first character means big or great (in this case, it means “arch”).
The second means heaven (or sky).
The last means messenger.

The second and third characters together make the title for angel, which is literally “Heaven's Messenger.”

This title would be understood as “The Chief of all Angels,” or “The Great Angel.” Some might even say it's the boss of Angels.

暗天使 is the shortest way to write, “Dark Angel,” in Chinese.

This literally reads, “dark heaven's messenger.”

天使 means “heaven's messenger” but is always understood as “angel.”

This would be pronounced "kura tenshi" in Japanese. This has the same meaning in Japanese, but not a common title. If you manage to find dark angel written in Japan, it would probably be ダーク エンジェル (Dāku Enjeru), which is a transliteration of the English title into Japanese, or 暗い天使 (kurai tenshi) which is a specifically Japanese title.

守護天使 is the title used for guardian angel in Chinese and Japanese Kanji.

It's used in the same way we use this title in the west - such as a guardian angel watching out for you and allowing you to survive a disaster or accident.

The first two characters mean to guard and protect. The second two mean “angel” (literally “Heaven's messenger”).
