This can be chalked up as another urban myth. It is possible to make such and ideogram but it has no meaning in Chinese, certainly not trouble.

This in actual fact is true, if you look at the Chinese symbol for trouble it depicts 2 people wearing 'skirts' underneath a horizontal line (signifying a roof). See here...link http://www.chinese-symbols.com/t-chinese-symbol-for-trouble
