Hanja is the Korean name for Chinese Characters (as used in the Korean language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanja https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanja
Are you sure you did not mean "Japanese kanji and kana", or "Japanese hiragana and katakana"?
Also on the Chinese family are Khitan large and small script, and the Jurchen large and small script, where some of the characters seem to be phonograms grouped in syllabic blocks as in Korean Hangul!
- bradrn 5y agoSorry, yes, I did indeed mean ‘kanji’, not ‘hanja’! (Pity I can’t edit anymore…) > Also on the Chinese family are Khitan large and small script, and the Jurchen large and small script, where some of the characters seem to be phonograms grouped in syllabic blocks as in Korean Hangul! Also the deeply weird Tangut (the only rGyalrongic language with an indigenous writing system). I didn’t know that about Jurchen, though; I’ll have to look into it.
