Ciao Albert,
Thanks for the excellent advice, in fact I had a deep look at the Primal-Trek site and as I couldn't find any charms similar to these, I wrote directly to Gary, the excellent creator of that web site.
Very kindly he's answered me translating the symbols on the amulets. And telling me that they are Korean charms and not Chinese, also if written with Chinese characters. Here I copy his explanations:
Charm 1
side a) #27704;#26124; yong chang "eternally prosperous"
side b) #31048;#23551; qi shou "pray for a long life"
Charm 2
side a) #22312;#22825; zai tian "is in Heaven"
side b) #39134;#40857; fei long "The flying Dragon"
("The Flying Dragon is in Heaven")
Charm 3
side a) #31077;#20113; xiang yun "lucky cloud"; #28006;#39321; pu xiang "grape fragrance"
side b) #21644;#39118; he feng "gentle breezes"; #29976;#38632; gan yu "sweet rains"
Charm 4
side a) #23551;#23500;#36149;#22810;#30007; shou fu gui duo nan "long life, wealth, honor, many sons"
side b) #37329;#26408;#27700;#28779;#22303; jin mu shui huo tu "metal, wood, water, fire, earth (The Five Elements)
Have a good July 4th!
