You should definitely make sure you get exposure to a whole bunch of different fonts, because yeah, there are definitely styles.

Also make sure your computer isn’t using Chinese encoding - sometimes there are subtle differences between equivalent Chinese and Japanese characters, but they both use the same position in Unicode, because reasons.

yes! this is defo a bit of a problem. There are also scripts here on WK that allows you to be tested using a range of kanji-fonts which is worth trying out.

[Userscript] WK Read that if you can

This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team. By using this, you understand that it can stop working at any time or be discontinued indefinitely. Features I’m planning for this extension to handle every possible WK review font modification need that could arise eventually. For now it supports 2 features: Using fonts from Google Fonts in an integrated way Changing the size of the font. After installing the extension, the menu in the top left corner of …

Since the new WaniKani UI update this Jitai script is broken. I quickly completely rewrote the logic to make it work with the current version, see code below. I will provide minimum to no support or help, I just thought it’d be nice to share a quick solution for those that need it. // ==UserScript== // @name Jitai // @version 2.0 // @description Display WaniKani reviews in randomized fonts, for more varied reading training. // @author rogerxiii (original by obskyr) // @license …

Hmmm mostly when the characters are handwritten. Otherwise it’s alright if the context provides cues and you know that’s the only word that fits in the context.

If you look at Kanji pages in Jisho, there are two major styles – one that follows the stroke orders, and another one on hover that might be used in printing.

Also, you might be able to get away much of the time, if you remember the components and the stroke order of each components. This will help with reading handwriting.

There is an intricacy that computer may erroneously render a Chinese variant despite being a Japanese website – the default language on your PC may not be set and defaulted to Chinese. In this case, components may change as well. Some that come to mind are 直 角 誤 (lang=zh), 直 角 誤 (lang=ja), 直 角 誤 (unset).

Which websites?

Hey, so I use this extension (Google Chrome only) and I’ve set it up so the kanji isn’t so brightly highlights (you can make it so it just changes the kanji text colour instead of highlighting the whole thing)

WaniKani Kanji Highlighter

It’s helped me when I’m navigating sites like NHK Easy because if I see a lot of blue, then I know I should be able to understand the content

Edit: Only works for TYPED text of course so compatibility will vary depending on the way the site is set up. But I believe it should be able to highlight any kanji as long as it’s been typed out…
