Hi, could you help me?
Sorry maybe there's someone already asked about this.
But could you tell me how to read this kanji and what's the meaning of it.
because I've already opened almost all of my kanji dictionaries and I just found nothing. I know it's cliche. :emoji_frowning2:
It's similar to kanji "dare" which is also can't be founded. except you knew the meaning/how to read it.
And is there any kanji which is rarely or even never could be found in any dictionary?

Thank you so much guys xD
that's exactly what I've been looking for!
and yeah after you guys told me about the kun-yomi i tried to look it up once again and i found it in one of my dictionaries.
except in 常用漢字辞書.
I was wondering why it's not included in it, is it because it's often used like "誰"?
haaaaa. Sorry for asking too much. lol.
but i appreciate it!

Yes, unfortunately 常用漢字 doesn't necessarily mean commonly used kanji in the sense that they're actually commonly used by people. It seems like that's all most non-Japanese dictionaries/kanji books focus on, though, which is terribly frustrating when you happen to come across not-so-uncommon words like 謙遜 (けんそん; "humble") or 虎 (とら; "tiger") or 箸 (はし; "chopsticks". This one still kills me), and I can't even imagine the frustrations one would face if coming across まとまる, まとめる, or まとう on Wikipedia written with their kanji: 纏まる, 纏める, 纏う (I mention Wikipedia because it seems to be one of the more heavy-kanji-use places out there).

*Disclaimer: I'm not a Japanese expert, just happened to pass jlpt1 with a low passing grade, so always best to check with a native.
Based on my e-dic, 先見=foresight, and 先見の明 is also =foresight, used in 先見の明の� る=farsighted/visionary. Noun, don't think it is commonly used in everyday life, more on newspapers to describe certain important people.
智慮 cannot be found.
予知 means prediction、予知する=predict.
予知能力=second sight
予見するmeans foresee. This word should be more commonly used with するto become a verb.
遠謀 means to think and plan about the far future. This seems to be old word inherited from Chinese, probably seldom used, but its meant to praise people like generals in ancient China going to war... (something like that)
I'm attempting to translate an interview.
I've got it finished, save for one response. . .
The question asks, "What would you do if Doraemon existed?"
The first part of the response reads, "I'd try to touch his head! What is it like? Is it smooth? Tufty?"
But then it goes to. . .
道具は困った時にでも泣きついてみる☆
It's mostly the first half of the sentence that makes no sense to me, I don't understand what he's saying about being troubled about tools, and I wasn't able to find a good translation for 時にでも. . . could someone help me try to figure this out?

I asked my translator friend and it seems to mean that:
(if doraemon exist) if I lack some tools, i will beg him for it (as in cry and beg for it like some kid)

The subject of 困った is not 道具 but the speaker or "I". でも implies that 困った時に is one of the example cases when the speaker begs Doraemon to help him (by using Draemon's tools). See the explanation of でも in a J-J dictionary.
http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/jn2/152508/m0u/でも/
Thus, you can think 困った時にでも as "when I'm in trouble or something".
BTW, isn't this topic more appropriate for Need a word or phrase translated? than here "Need a Kanji Translated? Just ask!"?;-)
Yes, he is. He's the vocal for a Japanese band, and I found the interview in a Japanese magazine.
But I think the posts answered what I was looking for. ^^ Thanks!

It's got a few meanings.
「羅」の部首・画数・読み方・意味 - goo漢字辞典
Two of them have to do with thin silk (#s 1 and 3). #2 says it basically means to be in a line (並ぶ). And the last one says it's just a character used for transcribing foreign sounds. So it's possible that 羅城門 is "a gate lined up in the castle" or something to that effect.
Though you can read about what it actually is at Wikipedia -- 羅城門 or Wikipedia -- Rashomon (gotta say "Rashomon" is a shock as a reading for that one; normally it's 羅生門, I thought...).

That's a certificate of a calligraphy exhibition given for a person Steven/Stephen Bourdon/Bowdoin.
The hints say that the answers are written in "alphabets" and not "characters", thus, "UK" and "USA" are the only correct answers.
EDIT:
Or are you talking about the two characters for UK and USA, i.e., 英 and 米?

Hi! I am gonna get me a tattoo with the words, Dream, Fight, Conquer on my wrist. As it will be too long to write in latin, i am thinking about getting it in kanji.
Could anyone please translate these 3 words into kanji? If so, would it even make any sense in kanji?
Thanks in advance
