Japanese? Chinese? Character Translation Requested

Hi All,
I forgot to mention that the blade is single edge with the short bevel providing a false edge at the tip. Does anyone have any idea where this dagger comes from?

Battara,
It would appear that Jeff S agrees that it is Chinese and has provided a translation.

Jeff S,
Any idea why someone would stamp “special” on such a plain Jane dagger? Granted, it looks serviceable enough but it doesn’t seem to me to have features that would make it special.

Sincerely,
RobT
