Fair point. As for the pedantic note, kanji is an English word whereas hanzi isn't, so that's why I used it.

I do have a dictionary with an entry for "kanji", but that dictionary includes plenty of other foreign words too, like "haole" [Hawaiian term for non-Hawaiians, particularly (often pejorative) white people] (it doesn't have "hanzi", but it does have an entry for Han). I also have dictionaries that don't have an entry for "kanji".
