کانجی (Kanji) is a system of Japanese writing that uses characters borrowed from the Chinese writing system. Each character represents a word or a concept, and there are thousands of kanji in use today. Kanji characters can have multiple readings and meanings, making them an essential part of the Japanese language. In addition to kanji, the Japanese writing system includes two other scripts: ひらがな (hiragana) and カタカナ (katakana). Hiragana is used for native Japanese words and grammatical elements, while katakana is primarily used for foreign words and names. Together, these three scripts form the foundation of written Japanese.
