i want to use anki to study kanji. however, i have no idea how to enter the japanese characters on the cards. i don't even know how to get kanji to display on a computer.

(also, i'm very new to studying kanji--just started a few days ago. i've only been studying japanese for a few months now.)

anyway, if someone could help me out, i'd really appreciate it.

I'm not going to close the topic this time however please understand that:

As for your question you want to look into an IME, which depends if you're on a OS X or Windows computer:

Pretty sure there have been some good threads here. Basically you have to install "East Asian Language Support" in Windows for the fonts and enable the "input method editor" and then switch to Japanese input, then you can type in romaji and get either kana or kanji suggestions.

sorry about that. nevertheless, thanks for the reply
