Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.

Characters
Same in both

Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Notes sounding well together. Chinese uses the same characters for this as for people getting along.
Before you commit
Choose with care諧 rarely stands alone. Readers know it from 和諧, harmony, and from 諧音, a pun on similar sounds, so it can suggest wordplay.
Pairs well with和諧 for harmony in general, 和聲 for musical harmony, 諧調 for being in tune with something.
At small sizesSixteen strokes, speech radical beside a stacked right half. The right side crowds badly when small.
Meaning
In accord, harmonious, well tuned.
The musical end of harmony specifically - things sounding right together.

What to do next
Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
