JLPT N4 kanji. Readings, meaning, and how the character is built.
漢 means Sino-, China. It is a JLPT N4 kanji written in 13 strokes, read かん. It contains 氵 (water), and at least one further part our source data does not name. It appears in 漢字 (kanji) and 漢和 (Chinese Character-Japanese (e.g. / dictionary)).
漢 is written in 13 strokes, in the order numbered below. Order matters: it is what makes handwriting legible, and it is how the character is looked up in a paper dictionary.
漢 breaks into 1 part.
| Word | Reading | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 漢字 | かんじ | kanji |
| 漢和 | かんわ | Chinese Character-Japanese (e.g. / dictionary) |
These use 氵 too. The part keeps its job from one character to the next, which is what makes it worth learning once.
