<p>It certainly has the feel of a Chinese character, though I don't recognize it as anything modern. At first glance, it seemed to be a smudged/misformed 束. However, upon closer inspection, it could be 䖝, a variant/corrupted form of 蟲(虫) meaning insect.</p>

<p>If you look at the entry under a03683-003 on <a href="http://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/yitia/yda/yda03683.htm" rel="nofollow">http://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/yitia/yda/yda03683.htm</a>, it seems very similar.</p>

<p>Furthermore, there are multiple entries under <a href="http://en.glyphwiki.org/wiki/twedu-a03683-004" rel="nofollow">http://en.glyphwiki.org/wiki/twedu-a03683-004</a> which bear a strong resemblance to the image you posted, namely u459d-04-var-001 / u459d-14-var-001 and u459d-ue0102 (just search for those entries in your browser).</p>

<p>Keep in mind that Chinese characters have been used in other languages and they have been modified or simplified over time, resulting in these variant forms.</p>

<p>The flipped version @ljk provided somehow reminds me of the character 兔 (rabbit), even it doesn't looks like one.</p>

Because the Japanese version of 兔, which is 兎, looks exactly like the flipped image with the addition of a dot. But this word is pronounced as *usagi* in Japanese, and nothing to do with "Smoke Tree Ranch" (STR).
