	Kanji - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		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.

		Jōyō Kanji The 常用漢字 Jōyōkanji hyō, or "List of Characters in Common Use," is an official list (published in 1981) of 1945 characters widely used in the mass media, government and general publications, and education.

	kanji (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-13)
		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 Summary
		While kanji are essentially Chinese hanzi used to write Japanese, there are now significant differences between kanji and hanzi, including the use of characters created in Japan, characters that have been given different meanings in Japanese, and post WWII simplifications of the kanji.
		Kanji invented in Japan would not normally be expected to have on'yomi, but there are exceptions, such as the character 働 'to work', which has the kun'yomi hataraku and the on'yomi dō, and 腺 'gland', which has only the on'yomi sen.
		Kanji, whose thousands of symbols defy ordering by convention such as is used with the Roman Alphabet, uses radical-and-stroke sorting to order a list of Kanji words.

		Despite the tremendous numbers of software patents being issued (with respect to the small numbers of true software innovations each year), software patenting as of yet is not a really big socioeconomic problem, though unless the software community acts now, it will become a big problem.

		It is not permitted to give a child a name that includes kanji not on this list, though parents are increasingly using the jinmeiyou kanji creatively to produce unusual (and hard to read) names.
		There have also been increasing demands to expand the list, and the government is currently considering adding another 500-1000 characters to the list of kanji acceptable for use in names, which will bring the total to between 2700 and 3200.

		However, other factors were taken into consideration, the most important being 1) a given character's usefulness in explaining other kanji on the list, or 2) its utility in illuminating the concept at work in a particular word family.
		At the same time, you will find that the more you visualize individual kanji in terms of their relations to other kanji, the better you will retain the specific etymological details for each character.
		Naturally, kanji can and should be studied from many angles, and there's no such thing as an interpretation method correct for all needs.

	Japanese Writing Systems
		But kanji are also frequently written in horizontal rows, in which case they are written and read from left to right.
		But, as Henshall (p.52) points out, the origins of the kanji may be related instead to an early Chinese character for a "tied sack with a pole thrust through to facilitate carrying" and not to any idea about where the sun rises relative to trees.
		Thus the kanji or characters in Japanese-English or Chinese-English dictionaries may be ordered in a variety of ways: according to frequency of use; according to order of learning in the school system of an area (e.g Henshall); according to an alphabetization of their sounds in a Romanized form (e.g.
