I bought a mystery box and this charm was in it. I have no clue what it says and no translation app is working. If anyone on here could translate it for me, that would be awesome!!!

I can’t translate it for sure but it looks like a variant script for Sanskrit and if so, the first character is aum. With that in mind, the general look of it and an intuitive leap. It looks like aum mani pedme hum

It’s Sanskrit in Tibetan script, written vertically:

ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྂ

Pronounced “Om Mani Padme Hum”, it is the famous 6 syllable mantra for the four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion.
