Post: Is there a term for Kanji with only one reading?

For example, 液 has only one reading (エキ), which is an on'yomi (Sino-Japanese reading). Since it has an on'yomi reading, it's not a 国字 (Japanese-made Kanji), as 国字 have only kun'yomi (Japanese reading)...

Post: Kanji without on-yomi?

What are the real meanings of the many primitives we learn with the Heisig method? I refer to the primitives which are not stand-alone kanjis. (Or perhaps they are stand-alone kanji, just not part of ...

Post: Kanjis you have mastered - set them to "learned"?

It would be great to learn Japanese vocabulary and grammar side-by-side with the kanjis in Heisig order, i.e. for every RTK lesson, you learn a handful of words using the kanjis you just learned, as w...
