<p>there is likely no meaning to the presence of the symbol aside from looks but it is one japanese "letter" from Katakana written system, not Kanji. It is ヨ . which is pronounced yo</p>

<p>Gaara has a symbol that reads "WMW" on his Sand gourd. What does this symbol mean? Is it kanji or just some random symbol?</p>

I don't think that says "WMW"... it just looks like some sort of design/pattern (for aesthetic purposes). At any rate, it isn't anything Japanese.
