I noticed that there is a directory for non-Unicode 漢字 used on Wikipedia/Wiktionary etc. Some of these characters are pretty hilarious lol 😂 @JUMANJIKYO commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/C… #漢字 #生僻字 #略字 #Unicode #Wikipedia
白 (しら, "white") + 拍子 (ひょうし, "beat")
→ 白拍子 (しらびょうし, "Shirabyōshi dancer")
Love the echo of 白 in both 白 and 拍. 😌
キーワード解説
「白拍子」
平安末期から鎌倉時代に流行した男装の歌舞、または、それを演じた舞女のことです。平清盛に寵愛された祇王（ぎおう）や源義経に愛された静御前などが有名です。白拍子の芸は、観阿弥・世阿弥の猿楽にも影響を与えたと言われています。南北朝時代にはすでに流行らなくなっており、どのような芸能なのか正確なことはわかっていません。

Swapping 征 (セイ, "conquer") for 正 (セイ, "proper") is a cool example of kanji-based rebranding. Same reading, completely different nuance. 🤩
Seirogan, a popular Japanese stomach medicine, got its name during the Russo-Japanese War. The original 征露丸 literally meant "subdue Russia pills." In 1971, a Japanese court ruled the name had become generic.

An explanation of why certain kanji were used to spell out the names of "Luke Skywalker" and "Darth Vader" at Star Wars Celebration Japan.
(Their names are usually officially written in more simple katakana script.)

When you see this kanji and not sure if they made mistake or it is like this. 😂😂 Actually it’s not mistake. It’s old kanji form of the word 翻刻. They wrote it as 飜刻

“Dentistry” (歯科) in Japanese is pronounced shika, which (as anime fans now know) is also how you pronounce “deer,” and this is a joke that I don’t think dentist’s signs here make often enough.

I added a few functions. The app can transcribe Kuzushiji on image from camera or gallery. If you press on kanji, it will show dictionary, but for hiragana, it will show Kana variants and Jibo. I also added text output so you can edit, copy or paste the text inside the app.

Is adding spaces between hiragana a good idea? Someone suggested it after my video. youtu.be/N6yJpQ9tK78?si=vzIJ…
