How to Write Kanji in Windows Vista

Kanji is made up of logographic traditional Chinese characters that are used in modern Japanese writing along with hiragana and katakana. Kanji actually means "Han Characters." It is the first form of written symbols used to display Japanese grammar, and it was modified to include diacritical marks to to allow Japanese speakers to read the Chinese characters. With Windows Vista, you can write documents in Kanji within a few clicks.
