visa

Non-PRO English to Chinese Art/Literary
I keep seeing "臔酚X" in a hand-written document I'm translating. (X stands for the character I can't make out.) What is it? I am pretty sure it's some kind of entry or exit permit.

(This is an old man reminiscing about things that took place in 1938, when he left  for America.)

This guy took great trouble to go to Hong Kong in order to receive some money for the passport? (Or some kind of entry fee charged by the U.S. Gov't as the Chinese Exclusiion Act was still in force, I believe.)

I will do some research on this.

My question is what is the X here and what does �@��X mean?

Thanks.

Perhaps the visa was in a piece of paper. And Visa was called 臔酚X at that time....
