==Etymology==
  +
  +
Character [[X2ED6]] [[&#X2ED6;]] needs special name, that is easier to pronounce (and easier to remember), than [[X2ED6]].
  +
  +
The original Japanese Kanji [[&#X2ED6;]] cannot be used for the identification, because of the common defect of representation of the [[Unicode]] characters in the default font at the most of the operational systems.<br>
  +
Up to year 2021, there is no united standard for the default font, that would allow each Japanese character to look the same at various computers, but different from other characters.
  +
<br>
  +
In particular, characters
  +
[[X2ECF]] [[&#X2ECF;]] ,
  +
[[X2ED6]] [[&#X2ED6;]] ,
  +
[[X961D]] [[&#X961D;]] ,
  +
look similar, although their default view depends on the computers.

<div style="margin:0px -14px 0px -200px; background-color:white">
  +
<div style="margin:0px 0px 0px 30px; line-height:1.2em">
  +
  +
Even a native Japanese speaker, watching [[&#X2ECF;]] [[&#X2ED6;]] [[&#X961D;]] ,
  +
is unlikely to identify them, unlikely to answer:<br>
  +
Which of them is [[X2ECF]]?<br>
  +
Which of them is [[X2ED6]]?<br>
  +
Which of them is [[X961D]]?
  +
  +
In such a case, the correct specification of the character is
  +
"[[X2ECF]]&nbsp;[[&#X2ECF;]]&nbsp;or&nbsp;[[X2ED6]]&nbsp;[[&#X2ED6;]]&nbsp;or&nbsp;[[X961D]]&nbsp;[[&#X961D;]]"
  +
  +
Term [[JapanBeta]] is defined to substitute this construction with the single word.
  +
  +
However, sometimes, it is desired to specify the character; to indicate the specific element of set [[JapanBeta]].
  +
  +
Term [[Kozato]] is suggested for [[X2ED6]] [[&#X2ED6;]].
  +
  +
Name [[Kozato]] is Shosen in analogy with sound, that is usually attributed to character [[X2ED6]] [[&#X2ED6;]].
  +
  +
Note, that, by the definition, [[Kozato]] is not just Romanji transliteration of sound [[こざと]];
  +
sound [[こざと]] may refer to various characters, while [[Kozato]] refers to the single, unique character.

Kozato, こざと, hill(s)


⻏, ⻖, 阝 (JapanBeta) with the default fonts:

Kozato (こざと) is name notation for the Unicode character X2ED6 ⻖ [1], KanjiRadical, JapanBeta.

Kozato can be pronounced as "kozato" or "kozatohen" and may refer to a hill, a mould.

Etymology

Character X2ED6 ⻖ needs special name, that is easier to pronounce (and easier to remember), than X2ED6.

The original Japanese Kanji ⻖ cannot be used for the identification, because of the common defect of representation of the Unicode characters in the default font at the most of the operational systems.
Up to year 2021, there is no united standard for the default font, that would allow each Japanese character to look the same at various computers, but different from other characters.
In particular, characters X2ECF ⻏ , X2ED6 ⻖ , X961D 阝 , look similar, although their default view depends on the computers.

Even a native Japanese speaker, watching ⻏ ⻖ 阝 , is unlikely to identify them, unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X2ECF?
Which of them is X2ED6?
Which of them is X961D?

In such a case, the correct specification of the character is "X2ECF ⻏ or X2ED6 ⻖ or X961D 阝"

Term JapanBeta is defined to substitute this construction with the single word.

However, sometimes, it is desired to specify the character; to indicate the specific element of set JapanBeta.

Term Kozato is suggested for X2ED6 ⻖.

Name Kozato is Shosen in analogy with sound, that is usually attributed to character X2ED6 ⻖.

Note, that, by the definition, Kozato is not just Romanji transliteration of sound こざと; sound こざと may refer to various characters, while Kozato refers to the single, unique character.

JapanBeta

By definition, JapanBeta is set of the following three Unicode characters:

X2ECF ⻏ [2], KanjiRadical, Oozato, town

X2ED6 ⻖ [1], KanjiRadical, Kozato, hill

X961D 阝 [3], KanjiLiberal, either town or hill

Each of characters kozato can be pronounced "Kozato" or "Oozato" or "kozatohen" and refer to a geographic place, village, country, city, hill, community [4]

Kozato appears as element of set KanjiBeta.

Phonetic

Kozato refers to the specific character X2ED6 ⻖, not to the sound こざと.

In particular, character Kozato can be pronounced こざと or こざとへん or in any other way, that is allowed for character X2ED6 ⻖.

Use

Character Kozato is not so usual by itself. The same refers also to other JapanBeta characters.

Image or character Kozato appears as element of images of more complicated kanjis.

Symbol Kozato appears at the left hand side of the image. Namely in this way it is identified in recognition and interpretation of the Japanese kanjis.

If similar structure appears at the right hand side of the image, it is interpreted as Oozato, X2ECF ⻏, and refers so a village, town rather than to a hill.

Here are examples of use of picture of Kozato, id est, that X2ECF ⻏ (in the sense mentioned) at the left hand side of kanjis:

X963B 阻 (ソ, はば.む) thwart; separate from; prevent; obstruct; deter; impede [5]

X9632 防 (ボウ, ふせ.ぐ) prevent; defend; protect; resist; ward off [6]

X963F 阿 (ア, お、おもね.る) Africa; flatter; fawn upon; corner; nook; recess [7]

Synonyms

There are several kanjis, that have meaning similar to Kozato. The two examples are suggested below:

X2FA2 ⾢ むら, community [4]

X2FA9 ⾩ こざと, hill [4].

Omonims

Some characters have the same sound こざと; some of them even have the same meaning, as Kozato. But they are not qualified as Kozato.

In the similar way, some characters may have graphical representation similar to that of Kozato. They can be qualified as confusions (caused by the poor implementation of the Japanese characters), but not as Kozato.

Kozato refers to the specific character, with its specific encoding, and should not be mixed with other character.

Avoiding of such confusions is the main reason for the definition of term Kozato.

Warning

Meaning of kanjis in TORI is constructed based on the descriptions in the dictionaries cited. This is first step, to establish nomenclature of Japanese characters. It is necessary to reveal the confusions, as some characters happen to look very similar; and some go them sound very similar. The confusions disturb preparation and analysis of texts in Japanese; so, this part of job should be done first.

The second approach should include the analysis of the practical of use of the characters in applied (not related to learning of Japanese) texts. Then, the semantic can be adjusted.
