I wanted to know the name of the following phenomenon or practice:
Writing in lyrics 世界(ここ) and reading/singing it as ここ thus using both meanings.
Another simple example that appears a lot in Manga:
魔水晶(ラクリマ)
The Kanji show us the meaning - what this is, the reading is its name for all intents and purposes.
How is this phenomenon called?
Also, if my name is 'water' in my native language, would it be ok to write my name as 水(カタカナ表記)?
For example in signatures, stamps or online boards.
Thanks a lot
