I love playing with kanji to make them interesting and practically indecipherable for poor unknowing gaijin such as ourselves. :: laugh :: My name was meant to be spelt with *these* characters, or katakana on occasion; there's not really any kanji that suit it. Apparently, "Mana" means "psychic gifts", but I don't know in what language. o_O;

Here's an interesting case of kanji-twisting: There's someone in a band I love (Kagrra, give them a listen sometime) who looooves playing with kanji. His name is "Izumi", which is usually written like this: and means spring or fountain. But in his case, he's split it up into its two components to look like this: . Technically, that'd read as "white water", right? I'm so bad at Japanese, so it took me a while to catch on to the whole thing. :: laugh :: Even the name of the band, "Kagrra", is a variant of the Japanese word _y (kagura) which is a reference to the old practice of religious dance rites. The kanji mean "music of the gods" and are thus an absolutely kick-ass name for a band. ^_^

Out of curiosity, what programs are you all using? NJStar? NSJaIME? Just wonderin'.

Sorry if your eyes are all glazing over by now.
