another important note on kanji
before kanji were introduced, Japanese was a spoken language only, so there are some words, that are not written with kanji at all, or that won't correspond to the possible ways to read the separate kanji
an example of this is "today"
今日
which uses the character for "now" (今), that can be read as
コン, キン, or いま
