Kanji
It is the use of Chinese Characters in Japanese writing
An Kanji represents an idea or a meaning
Each Kanji can have multiple meanings based on the context in which they are used
An Kanji character can be broken down into smaller characters called Radicals
Every kanji character has at least one radical
Each Kanji has two reads : On (ニン) and Kun (ひと)
On reading is mimics the original sound made in Chinese
Which Kun reading is the revised Japanese reading
“On” readings are generally used when multiple Kanji characters are grouped together into a compound word
“Kun” readings will be used when its an standalone Kanji
