Kanji for Hirohito


I cannot find the kanji for hito, as in the name Hirohito, in my Modern
Reader's Japanese-English Character Dictionary (Andrew Nelson). When I
searched online I found that the hito was shown as a four stroke kanji,
written as nimben and two horizontal strokes similar to the number two. I
searched with the nimben and rod radicals with no success. Can someone help me
out here?




There is 仁, which fits all of your descriptions. You wouldn't have found it
with the rod radical, because the rod is a vertical line. Most digital
dictionaries have a search function by stroke number as well (or at least
order the results by stroke number), which would have helped. Plus [二]{に} is
actually a traditional radical.

My dictionary gives at least the following combinations for Hirohito

> 郭人, 寛人, 寛仁, 宏人, 宏仁, 宏斉, 広人, 広仁, 弘人, 弘仁, 浩人, 浩仁, 祥仁, 仁人, 大仁, 博人, 博仁, 祐人, 裕人,
> 裕仁, 洋人, 煕人, 洋仁, 皓人
