Favorite Kanji

[captcouch]

My favorite has always seemed to be 中.

On'yomi: Chuu
Kun'yomi: Naka, Uchi, Ata(ru)

It reminds me of my early curiosity in Japanese when I was several years younger. I've seen that Kanji since I was a small child watching anime. Even though I never knew what it was called, what it meant, or how to pronounce it, I thought it looked cool.

Edited to provide reading information.

Another necrothread! Gotta love 'em!
But since we're here, my favourite Kanji are the easy ones, like 一、二　etc coz basically I'm lazy
I also really like writing one's with 心in them. eg 愛、忘、忍、念、恋 など　など　For some reason, it feels good when wrting them. The pen flows nicely, or something. Sounds wishy-washy, I know, but someone might understand what I mean!

Hm I want to say I like 風鈴（a wind bell）. 梅雨が終われば、風鈴の音が心地よい季節になります。

[shiohigari]

I came across a really funky kanji a few months ago when looking up something else in my dictionary, though it's quite an uncommon one and I havent actually seen it in Japanese texts.

轢 (http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1MKJ%ED%E0)

Its kun'yomi is "hiku", which if written with this kanji means "to run over", eg. 彼は車に轢かれた (Kare wa kuruma ni hikareta / he got run over by a car). It's not really the shape of the kanji or the spectacular meaning, but more the fact that its made up of 車 (kuruma - car), and　楽 (tanoshii - fun/pleasant) which makes it interesting. It kind of makes you wonder, hur hur.

(I know 楽 can also mean "music", and that that part is only used to indicate the pronunciation anyway - on'yomi is "reki" - but thinking like that kind of takes the "fun" out of the character) (pun not intended :p)

I love this one: 姦
女＋女＋女= noisy. :p

[Yudan Taiteki]

The word 轢死 is in Natsume Soseki's _Sanshiro_.

思
I don't know why, but I just like it.
Not that I'm such a deep thinker.

[Tspoonami]

たいと - the appearance of a dragon in flight, with a whopping 84 strokes.

Sadly, I can't type it, because the IME is stupid. I don't think this character even exists in the character bank...

龜

Sorry, it can make your eyes sore... B)

It's the old style 漢字 of 亀 (かめ tortoise, turtle - a holy animal in ancient China for its long life)

I found its stroke order is shown here
Click the kanji at 序Z画 on the page of the site -- but unfortunately, it seems to work right only by Internet Explorer...

My favourite Kanji:

食 (food)

followed by:

花 (flower) , 山 (moutain - I live in Scotland = 山 の国) , all Kanji with the "Water" radical : 海 (sea) , 漢 (Chinese) etc...

So quite a lot...
