Japanese is written using a mixture of three scripts: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. Latin letters (Romaji) and symbols/dingbats (Kigo) are also mixed into modern written Japanese. Hiragana & Katakana are syllabaries. The Unicode Standard refers to Kanji characters as “Han Ideographs”. Some Kanji are visually different in Japan than they are in other countries but they share the same codepoints in Unicode.
