## What is Kanji Compare?

Discover how the same kanji can mean completely different things in Chinese and Japanese.

Kanji Compare is a quick-reference tool for 30 classic "false friends" — words that look identical but carry different (sometimes opposite!) meanings across the two languages.

Features:
• Side-by-side comparison of Chinese and Japanese meanings
• Real example sentences for each language
• Three-level classification: Opposite / Partially Different / Nuance
• Category filtering (Daily Life, Business, Food, Emotions, etc.)
• Search by kanji or meaning
• Save favorites for quick review
• Works 100% offline — no account, no tracking

Perfect for Chinese speakers learning Japanese, Japanese speakers learning Chinese, or anyone fascinated by CJK linguistics.
