Is a kanji list read in 訓読み or 音読み?


I have been wondering this for a while now, but hesitated to ask.

I have been studying jouyou kanji for several years, yet I do not know if
there is a general way of how to read a list of kanji out loud. How do
Japanese people generally read a single kanji?

Or is it unusual to read a list of kanji out loud, as some kanji on themselves
are rather to be understood?




I am not sure if there any traditions or rules regarding kanji lists, but
usually when someone refers to a particular kanji it is called by its common
use _and_ the word it is in, without separating 訓読み from 音読み.

Some kanjis have no 訓読み at all, some kanjis have a wide list of 音読み so it is
very hard to distinguish which kanji are you referring to by calling one of
its pronunciations. To solve this problem people refer to a particular usage
of a kanji which is made using an example of a commonly known word.

For example:

  * referring to 漁 it's said 漁船のギョ
  * referring to 電 it'd said 電気のデン and so on.
