    Versions of X96F7

X96F7 is Unicode character number 38647, KanjiLiberal, Kaminari.

X96F7 can be pronounced as "kaminari" and denote thuderstorm, lightning.

X96F7 is easy to confuse with character XF949 that has similar graphical presentation, similar pronunciation and similar meaning.

Graphic

Character X96F7 looks as combination of two characters:

any of kanjis Ame (X2FAC or X96E8 ) at the top and
any of kanjis RiceField (X2F65 or X7530 ) at the bottom.

The combination can be menorized as a rain (X2FAC or X96E8 )
above the rice field (X2F65 or X7530 );
so it is shown in the first picture.


Specific view of character X96F7 depend on the software. The variety is shown in the second picture.
Up to year 2021, no unique standard font for the unicode characters seem to be established. Such a standard would allow the same characters to look similar at various computers with some default font; and, perhaps, different characters could look different. The last would allow to avoid confusion mentioned below.

Confusion: and

Characters X96F7 and XF949 have similar shape (the same shape at some computers).

Even a native Japanese speaker, watching characters and , is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X96F7?
Which of them is XF949?

The software also confuse these characters.
In particular, at the standard setting of mediawiki, it is not possible to create two separated articles entitled and :
an attempt to access lead to . For this reason, the hexadecimal presentations of some kanjis are used as names of the articles.

The manuals on Kanjis have the common defect: they suggest ways to draw the characters, but do not suggest a way to distinguish them; for example, to distinguish X96F7 from XF949 . Most of textbooks to do not even mention this problem.

At the vie of a character, similar to , the correct specification is

"X96F7 or XF949 "

Term Kaminari is defined to substitute this (long and complicated) construction.

Synonyms
