The Roko's Basilisk of Learning Japanese (Second Post)

This was another Roko’s Basilisk of mine. Distinguishing between different kanji and same kanji written in different styles… Like, image and image

In the first one the “fins” radical is used, in the second one – the “legs” radical. Yet the kanji is the same – just different styles.

On the other hand, in image and image the same difference leads to them being two completely different kanji…

However, again, once I accepted that I’ll just have to memorize these things – it became much easier :sweat_smile:
