For your god damn information, in jap language you can simply just write foreign names in katakana. Unlike in chinese where you need to work out kanji to fit it

My name is impossible to write in Japanese unless I deform it so it won't be my name anymore.

[Anonymous No.]

What if I'm Chinese?

Should I just write the kanji for my name or transliterate my English name into Katakana?

[Anonymous No.]

>>9233806
You have two options.
Either you can adapt the chinese hanji into japanese kanji, or yes you can transcribe them in kataka.

What the fuck am I reading.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9233865
Due to a few retarted reasons, they adopt kanji/hanji different in shape, regardless having the same meaning.
e.g. these are all equivalent to each other
博麗霊夢<->博丽灵梦(reimu)
東風谷早苗<->东风谷早苗(sanae)
聖白蓮<->圣白莲(byakuren)

Some characters are simplified in Chinese but not Japanese.
Some characters are simplified in Japanese but not Chinese.
Some characters are simplified in both but in different ways.

They are all still Hanzi/Kanji however.

Is there a reason the "Rei" in Reimu's name is different than pic related?

I thought they were the same character.

Look at that crazy commierune. Nothing in common with the other two.

God, simplified chinese is retarded.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since you probably haven't studied the language.

But when you have to write in a language that uses Kanji exclusively simplification does wonders for writing speed, legibility, and overall literacy rates.

Also, most calligraphers still write in traditional so if you like it simply for aesthetics you have nothing to worry about.

Forgot to mention,
Zun changed the kanji to 霊 for some reason when he entered the Windows era

>simplification does wonders for writing speed, legibility, and overall literacy rates.

Hahaha oh wow. Go back to masturbating to your Mao posters commie boy. Who even writes by hand anymore? Computers make the one arguable advantage of simplified characters obsolete.

>literacy rates.
Taiwan and Hong Kong must have a huge literacy problem, then I guess.

No need for ad hominem attacks.

Just because you might not write very much doesn't mean people don't still do it. Or would you care to explain why stores still sell notebooks and pens?

Also, HK and the RoC have much smaller populations so you can't really make that kind of comparison.

why would i write my name in japanese o_O

[Anonymous No.]

My name would be enough to identify me.

The Republic of China also experimented with and considered character simplification as part of the modernization process. It's not just a communist idea.

>>9234248
Decades passed between the introduction of simplified Chinese and the popularization of the computer in China. And every Chinese student learned the characters primarily through reading and writing without computer input.

Japan always had relatively high literacy rates even when they were using purely traditional characters. Taiwan, Japan, and Hong Kong all have higher literacy rates than China.

It's a matter of educational quality.
