CJK Characters

CJK characters refer to the writing systems used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. These characters are logograms, meaning each symbol represents a word or a meaningful part of a word, rather than individual sounds. They originated in China and are used in Japan and Korea with some variations. Although the three languages have different pronunciations and grammar, they share many characters, which can convey complex ideas visually. CJK characters are an essential part of the cultural and historical identity of these languages, and they are used in writing, art, and digital communication across East Asia.
