Japanese-Made Ideographs—Kokuji
e Japanese have created their own ideographs known as kokuji ( kokuji), literally
meaning “national characters,” or, more descriptively, “Japanese-made ideographs.” Kokuji
behave like true ideographs, following the same rules of structure. Specically, they are
composed of radicals, radical-like elements, and strokes, and can be combined with one
or more ideographs to form compounds or words. ese ideographs were created out of
a need for characters not borrowed from China.
*
Most kokuji are used to represent the
names of indigenous Japanese plants and sh. ey are also used quite frequently in Japa-
nese place and personal names.
Approximately 200 kokuji have been identied in the basic Japanese character set stan-
dard, specically JIS X 0208:1997. ere are even more in the supplemental character sets,
specically JIS X 0212-1990 and JIS X 0213:2004. Table 2-40 provides a few examples of
kokuji, and also lists their JIS X 0208:1997 Row-Cell and Unicode scalar values for refer-
ence purposes.
