nah i need all the horn buttons i can find lol. i was just curious as to what it means. the guy i bought the steering wheel from said he brought it back from peurto rico so maybe it's from there, but idk cause i've seen the symbol on a lot of toyotas, even ones that like rednecks own.

it does mean toyota in japanese......
and if you look close you will find it on just about every part of your car that is the original part from inside the head to under the manifold even on some gas caps, oil caps, and on the valves. it is just a short way of branding it was there before the old skool T (like you see on the 60's-early 80's rims) or the new and improved "T" (aka the toyota symbol)
