For some reasons, often, more complicated [[Kanji]]s are more usual, than simple ones.<br>

This observation is counter-intuitive.

From the common sense (ability to write and read, saving space due to the smaller font),

one could expect simple kanjis to be more popular.<br>

WalkU is set of the following five Unicode characters:

X2ECC ⻌ [1], KanjiRadical, Walk0, SIMPLIFIED WALK

X2ECD ⻍ [2], KanjiRadical, Walk1, WALK ONE

X2ECE ⻎ [3], KanjiRadical, Walk2, WALK TWO

X8FB6 辶 [4], KanjiLiberal, Walk3

XFA66 辶 [5], KanjiConfudal, Walk4

The system of names (Walk0,Walk1,Walk2,Walk3,Walk4) is based on the descriptions [2][3] of two of these characters by The Unicode Utilities.
These Kanjis are ordered their Unicode numbers.

Characters of WalkU may have similar pronunciation しんにょう, Shinniou and similar meanings: walk, move, advance.

2021.07.21.ChinaRain.jpg
Example of WalkU: Car advances through water

Graphics

Characters of WalkU are highly confusive. Their view depends on the default font of the operational system.

Here are comparisons of view of characters ⻌,⻍,⻎,辶,辶 with the default fonts of various computers:

WalkUm.png at Macintosh

WalkUL.png at Linux

⻌,⻍,⻎,辶,辶 at your computer

Apparently, serious mistakes, bugs, errors in the various softwares take place:
The view of a character at the default font depends on the one operational system, while different characters look the same.

Confusion

In century 21, the computer support of characters of Japanese is underdeveloped.

Up to year 2021, there is no united standard for the default font, that would allow each character to look the same at various computers, but different from other characters.
Apparently, the opposite cases take place: the character looks different with the default font of different operational systems, but similar to other characters at the same computer. This causes confuses. In particular, such a confusion takes place with characters of set WalkU. Sometimes, they are considered as equivalent, and sometimes not. [6]

As some computers, characters X2ECC ⻌ , X2ECD ⻍ , X2ECE ⻎ , X8FB6 辶 , XFA66 辶 look similar (At Macintosh, they look the same).
Even a native Japanese speaker, watching characters ⻌, ⻍, ⻎, 辶, 辶, is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X2ECC (SIMPLIFIED WALK)?
Which of them is X2ECD (WALK ONE)?
Which of them is X2ECE (WALK TWO)?
Which of them is X8FB6?
Which of them is XFA66?

In such a case, the correct specification of the character is

"X2ECC ⻌ or X2ECD ⻍ or X2ECE ⻎ or X8FB6 辶 or XFA66 辶"

Term WalkU is defined to substitute this (long and complicated) construction with the single word.

The characters of WalkU and their encodings can be identified, revealed with PHP programs du1.t and ud.t. Example of the call:

php ud.t 2ECC 2ECD 2ECE 8FB6 FA66

In the most of cases, the difference between these characters is not so important, while the phonetic and semantic properties of these characters are similar.
However, the mistakes appears, when one needs to search for the character, or to replace it through the text, or to perform more complicated operations with the document.
The similarity of kanji may lead to loss of information related to any of WalkU.

In the first semantic and phonetic approximation, all characters of WalkU are considered as equivalent. They can be pronounced as しんにょう or Sjinnyou, meaning go, to walk, to advance (for example, after to be stack in a traffic jam). After replacement of all characters of WalkU to one of these phonetic representation, the mistakes mentioned do not occur.

Tarja

In order to avoid confusions mentioned above, the special system of notations Tarja is suggested.

Tarja appears as kind of Japanese-English Pidgin. This language is similar to Japanese, but the ambiguous, confusive characters are excluded, substituted with Romanji and/or Hiragana words, basing on the graphic (JapanPi, JapanPsi, SticlPi), phonetic (Tori, Sakana, Chikara) or semantic (for ex.,Vecher) similarity.

Tarja is oriented to reading and analysis of Japanese texts.
First, the characters are translated from Japanese to Tarja. This convention reduces the amount of options to be considered, looking for some meaningful combination of interpetations of each Katakana or Kanji: some katakana look as Kanji, but in Tarja, they appear as ascii or Hiragana. Then, text in Tarja is analyzed and/or (if necessary) translated to other language(s).

Tarja is expected to be useful in analysis of ambiguous Japanese texts: the goal is to reveal the ambiguities, to describe them and avoid them in the meaningful texts.

Characters of WalkU can be translated from Japanese to Tarja in the following ways:

1. しんにょう. This word is allowed in Japanese.

2. Shinniou. This word is almost half-shorter (8 bytes instead of 15), but in absent in standard Japanese.

3. WalkU; character U may be replaced to 0,1,2,3 or 4.

4. The hexadecimal number of a WalkU character, id est, X2ECC or X2ECD or X2ECE or X8FB6 or XFA66.

⾡ and 辵

Characters WalkU has synonyms, that do not look similar to characters of WalkU.

Character X2FA1 ⾡ can be pronounced Shinnuu, しんにゅう and may mean "to enter", "road", "advance". It is qualified as Radical 162 [7].

Similar description refers to character X8FB5 辵; it also means "move". [8]

Characters X2FA1 ⾡ and X8FB5 辵 look similar; at Macintosh default font, the same picture seems to be assigned to both.
For this reason, each of these two characters is qualified as confuse; they cannot be used in Tarja language.
However, the Romanji Hinnuu and Hiragana しんにゅう are allowed in these meanings.
Each of this word can be pronounced literally and may mean "enter", "advance" or "road", "street".

Use in Japanese

In written Japanese languages of century 21, characters of walkU, by themselves, are not popular.
The image(s) of these characters are used by the font designers to make pictures of other, more complicated and more usual, kanjis. Here are few examples:

X901A 通 通 [9]: Traffic, pass through, avenue, commute, counter for letters, notes, documents

X9023 連 連 [10]: Take along, lead, join, connect, party, gang, clique

X9032 進 進 [11]: continue, move on, Advance, proceed, progress, promote

X9053 道 道 [12]: Road-way, street, district, journey, course, moral, teachings

X9078 選 選 [13]: Elect, select, choose, prefer

The characters above are complicated; they are enlarged in order to allow the visual recognition.
(Over-vice, all of them would look similar to character X2592 ▒.)
Bue even after the endargmenr, it is difficult to say, namely which character of WalkU is used as prototype for the lower-bottom parts of the kanjis mentioned.

Meanings of WALK ONE seem to be just compillation of meanings of kanjis, whose images include image similar to ⻍.


More complicated Kanjis mentioned above seem to be more usual, more popular, than simple elements of WalkU; perhaps, due to the confusions mention.
Revealing and analysis of origin of these confusions could be topic for the scientific research.

  6. ↑ In the similar way, term Trillion causes confusion. For example, an offee takes the trillion loan from the government, while the trillion is qualified as 10^18, and then returns the debt assuming that the trillion is only 10^12. The results of such a business is described in article денег нет (in Russian): the offees have collected tons of cash and/or gold in tresories of their castles, but there is no money in Budget for the social programs.
