A lot of kanji overlap, either on meanings or pronunciation. A good site will show you the word, and then a rough English equivalent. If it doesn't, the best thing to do is use one that goes both ways E->J & J->E and re-type in the word you were given.

Usually the tattoos you see are a character called a "kanji". They can be read many ways depending on which kanji follows which, and so on. It's very hard to take a kanji and translate it because you need to actually know Japanese to have a recognition software properly process the kanji.

How will I know if a symbol is a Chinese character and not a Japanese kanji?

You either won't or you will. Kanji are Chinese characters, so by themselves you won't know the difference unless the characters only make sense in one language and not the other. But, when the Japanese write, they punctuate with particles are such. So, when you see things like hiragana and/or katakana, you will know that the what you are reading is Japanese.

What does the Kanji symbol mean?

Kanji is not just one symbol. It's a group of characters that make up the Japanese written language. Along with kanji, there is also katakana and hiragana. If I'm not mistaken all three of these combined form what is called Kana or "Japanese symbols", which is basically the Japanese "alphabet", though this is rather oversimplified. Kanachart.com is just one of many online references where you can see and learn a few of the ''thousands'' of Japanese characters. There is also Romaji. This is where Japanese words are spelled out more or less phonetically using the Roman (our) alphabet. In Romaji: * one - ichi * two - ni * three - san * four - yon * five = go The function of Kanji is tell to the reader what's the main idea of a word, verb etc. You use Kanji to write the main part of a word, and Hiragana to write its declinations and variant parts. In Japanese, to be totally fluent in Kanji, you need to know 2,000 of them. Each Kanji has different readings (some may have Chinese and Japanese readings). The right reading depends of the rest the word, or by context you can guess.
