More about the Japanese writing system
Japanese famously blends three scripts at once: the hiragana and katakana syllabaries (46 characters each) and kanji adopted from Chinese. Katakana is used for loanwords and, often, for scientific and technical terms, while kanji carry core meaning.
Japanese can be written left‑to‑right or top‑to‑bottom, and romaji (Latin letters) appears in formulas and units. This tool keeps all the kana you need one click away for study, research notes and messaging.
