Visually similar kanji
Around two weeks ago, we made a number of additions to our visually similar kanji on WaniKani thanks to a very thorough list compiled by forum user LuisTM. We don’t have a full list of changes this time, but a rough one can be found in this reply to the original forum post. We hope these are useful to you, and we’d like to encourage other users to share similar feedback with us in the future!
