Kanji
are the adopted logographic Chinese characters that are used in the Japanese writing system. They are used alongside the Japanese syllabic scripts "hiragana" and "katakana". The Japanese term "kanji" for the Chinese characters literally means "Han characters". It is written with the same characters as in Traditional Chinese to refer to the character writing system, "hanzi" (). Although some Kanji will have similar meaning and pronunciation as Chinese, some can have very different meanings and pronunciations as well e.g. 誠, meaning 'honest' in both Chinese and Japanese, is pronounced "makoto" or "sei" in Japanese, but pronounced "chéng" in Chinese (Standard).
