変 has the basic meaning of "change" or "abnormal" (here "change").
空 has the basic meaning of "sky", "air" or "empty" (here "air").
There are various websites where you can look up a character by drawing it. The one I use most and find most reliable is LINE Dictionary : English-Thai, Chinese-English, English-Chinese Dictionary, which is really meant for Chinese but I find it almost always works perfectly well for Japanese too. Once you have the character in plain text you can paste it into your online Japanese dictionary of choice.
Thank you very much for your kind help.
I have tried to find these Kaji by examine radicals (Jisho.org: Japanese Dictionary). But, unfortunately, I could not.
Your link is really helpful. Next time, when I meet same difficulties,
I will try that website.
Hi!
For a friend of mine, please may you tell me what does this kanji mean?
See attached small piture.
Would greatly appreciate your help... I tried out at NCIKU but didn't work.
Thanks a lot!
There seems to be a lot of crossover with Japanese and Chinese learning materials. I didn't know nciku had a Japanese portion, but things like rikaichan, tatoeba, and anki, which were originally for Japanese, are now being used for Chinese. I think Skritter started out for use with Chinese, but it has a Japanese feature too now. I find it interesting.
Could someone please help me identify these two symbols? One is supposed to be "Embrace" and the other "Release" but I've been unable to identify which is which. thanks!
I did research a lot before posting here and when I could not find any characters that seemed even close so that's what I was afraid of. I do appreciate your reply nonetheless.
