Can't help with the characters, but I will suggest that the acid-resist on the blade looks like very recent work.

Do you have any photos of the entire sword? Is it two-edged or single? Any curve at all?

This is a newly made sword from China or even possibly from Indonesia.

Thank you for the sharing information RSWORD

Is there any name for this kind of sword? I mean according the shape.

Contemporary swords are often interpretations of earlier examples. I think in this case the sword is made to look slightly like a Japanese military sword, particularly a WWII NCO pattern which were often numbered on the blade at the hilt. All the additional etchings to the blade are "fluff" to add appeal to the appearance of the blade. I don't know if these modern pieces have a particular name other than wallhanger or decorative object.
