What is your favourite Kanji?

I have recently started learning Japanese, and I love the look of some of the Kanji, and I was wondering if any of you have a favourite too!

My name is Seán, and there is no direct kanji translation of ショーン unfortunately, but when I lived there, a teacher tried her best, and very kindly bought me a はんこ with the kanji 諸音 (しょおん) meaning 'origin of sound'. It was very sweet since I'm a musician, and so those kanji hold a special place for me! ^_^

How about yourself? What are your favourite?

I am still trying to figure out how to type kanji on my macbook! :')

Yeah, that can be a little tough at first.

Try this and see if it helps.

The important thing is to get the input method sorted first, then you can switch between English and Japanese using a shortcut, or an icon on your task bar in the top right of the screen.

I have done it now, thanks!

My favourite is 骨, because it looks like a little skeleton.

Haha! Yes, one of the few that actually seems to represent its general meaning!
