	Kanji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kanji are one of the three main forms of Japanese writing, the other two being hiragana and katakana, the kana.
		In modern Japanese, kanji is used to write parts of the language such as nouns, adjective stems and verb stems, while hiragana is used to write inflected verb and adjective endings (okurigana), particles, and words where the kanji is too difficult to read or remember.
		The ideographic iteration mark (々) is used to indicate that the preceding kanji is to be repeated, functioning similarly to a ditto mark in English.

	Kanji
		Kanji are one of the three character sets used in the Japanese writing system (the other two being hiragana and katakana).
		Kanji began to be used to write certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives and verbs, while kana were used to write verb endings, uniquely Japanese words, and foreign words (this usage developed much later; originally foreign words were all written phonetically using kanji).
		A kanji will often have its pronunciation for the given context spelled out in ruby characters known as "furigana," which are small hiragana written above the character (those printed to the side are called kumimoji).

		Kanji are one of the four character sets used in the modern Japanese writing system (the other three being hiragana, katakana and romaji).
		A kanji character may have several (in rare cases ten or more) possible pronunciations, depending on its context, intended meaning, use in compounds, and location in the sentence.
		The kun'yomi (訓読み) of a kanji (also called its kun reading, Japanese reading, or somewhat misleadingly its native reading) of a kanji is a reading based on the pronunciation of a native Japanese word, or yamatokotoba, that closely approximated the meaning of the Chinese character when it was introduced.

	The Japanese Kanji Kentei
		When studying for the Japanese kanji tests, it is important to write kanji as well as read them.
		When writing kanji you are forced to iamgeine and recall the structure of the kanji, whereas reading the kanji only makes you able to recognise it not reproduce it.
		It often happens when you read a Japanese text, that you accidently mistake one kanji for another, either because they look alike, are pronounced the same or simply because their meanings are closely related.

	Kanji
		Eventually a writing system called man'yōgana (used in the ancient poetry anthology Man'yōshū) evolved that used a limited set of kanji for their phonetic value alone, not for their semantic value, which was necessary for writing Japanese poetry.
		The ideographic iteration mark (々) is used to indicate a plural meaning; it is pronounced as though the kanji were written twice in a row, for example 色々 iroiro "various".

	Japanese_language information. LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER
		Though the two languages are completely unrelated, Japanese has been heavily influenced by Chinese over a period of at least 1,500 years.
		Japanese is written with a mix of Chinese characters (kanji) and a modified syllabary, kana, also originally based on Chinese characters.
		Modern Japanese is written in a mixture of three main scripts: kanji, characters of Chinese origin used to represent both Chinese loanwords into Japanese and a number of native Japanese morphemes; and two syllabaries: hiragana and katakana.

		There's quite a range of kanji quizzes there and the format is quite addictive.
		It's pretty good in that it gives you a sentence rather than a word in isolation and tests both ways round (reading and kanji).
		I'm trying to study for the kanji kentei (I think that's what it's called) exam and I need some good ways to test myself

		Let me give you my completely pedestrian and baseless opinion: the Kanji Kentei people should stop conducting surveys like this because it just shows how irrelevant they’re becoming and the precious idioms that they are trying so hard to protect are slowly but surely dying out of the Japanese language.
		Those conservative old guard slush-puppies (new word?) should just go cry into their bourbons at the members-only enka-only karaoke bars they came from.
		Perhaps if you worked on your kanji a bit more you might be able to read articles like this properly!
