Kanji is what the Japanese called chinese characters. Koreans calls them Hanja. Each have their own way of pronouncing the chinese characters, and that's how you can have "chinese" characters in both Japanese and Korean names (and obviously Chinese). The chinese characters themselves don't change, they're just pronounced differently, that's all. The saying goes, "learn chinese, and make friends all over the world." :) ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $9.95 domain names from Yahoo!.
