Introduction of 一:


What kanji set is 一 in?:


Kanji 一 is in the 学習漢字 (Gakusyu kanji), a subset of the 常用漢字 (Joyou kanji).
Kanji 一 is studied in Japanese elementary schools at the first-grade level. Mastering all the Gakusyu kanji is a requirement for graduation.

漢数字 Kanji numerals:


In the Japanese school curriculum, there are two ways of writing the numbers: using kanji numerals ( 一 二 三 四) or using Arabic numerals (1 2 3 4).
Kanji numerals are called 漢数字 (かんすうじ Kansuuji), used in traditional writing.
Arabic numerals are called アラビア数字 (あらびあすうじ Arabiasuuji), used in math and science writing.

数え方 Reading numbers:


In the Japanese school curriculum, there are two ways of reading the numbers: onnyomi and kunnyomi. Onnyomi comes from the Chinese sound, and kunnyomi comes from the native Japanese sound.

How to determine readning いち or ひとつ:


一 (いち Ichi) is onnyomi and 一つ (ひとつ Hitotsu) is kunnyomi. To determine the reading in the sentence, kunnyomi is always written as 一つ, not 一. By adding つ after 一, native Japanese speakers can judge kanji's reading.

音便 Phonetic shift:


The kanji 一 (いち) is often combined with other kanji to form a compound kanji. For instance, 一 is combined with 分 (ふん) to form 一分 (いっぷん) or combined with 個 (こ) to form 一個 (いっこ).
In such compound words, いち is phonetically shifted to いっ to make it easier to pronounce. 一分 is いっぷん, not いちふん. 一個 is いっこ, not いちこ.
This kind of phonetic shift is called 音便 (おんびん Onnbin) in Japanese grammatical terms.

What is 一の異体字


Kanji 一 has several alterntive forms (異体字 いたいじ Itaiji): 弌, 壱, and 壹. All the forms have the same meaning and sound.

Kanji 弌 is used in contracts dealing with money. Kanji 一 has only one stroke and remains a large white margin, which could be modified after the contract agreement. To prevent modification, the kanji with a large number of strokes is used intentionally. This kind of kanji is also called 大字 (だいじ Daiji) in legal terms.

Most kanji numerals have at least one alternative form, which has more strokes than its counterpart.

Kanji 壱 was used in place names and personal names. In the course of history, 壱 lost its original meaning and became a variant of 一. Some place names may use 壱 in official texts: 壱岐(いき), 壱岐水道(いきすいどう), 壱岐対馬国定公園(いきつしまこくていこうえん), 壱越(いちこつ), 壱州(いっしゅう), and 壱与(いよ). You may find them on road maps.

Kanji 壹 is an old form of 壱. 壹 is no more used in public school textbooks. This type of obsoleted kanji is called 旧字 (きゅうじ Kyuuji). You will not find them even on road maps.
