々 is symbolically called 'noma' or 'onaji', the second term meaning 'the same'. It is used to quicken writing and is used anywhere you want to evade repeating a kanji, be it name or anything else. There are kanji that read as double 'i' when used in names like 飯 among others, so you don't always have to use the 'noma' mark for long or double vowels.

What are the three main scripts of modern Japanese writing?

Modern Japanese has three scripts: Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana. Kanji is the original script using Chinese characters, imported from Mainland Asia. Hiragana is a flowing script adapted from Kanji (and simplified) which is used for grammar and if you don't know the Kanji for a certain word. Katakana is like Hiragana, but very angular.

Do the Japanese mainly use kanji?

Well, English is a European language, and Japanese is an Asian language. When each language / writing system was created, they had most likely no contact what-so-ever with each other.

How many kanji characters used please answer from someone Japanese?

Im not Japanese, but in Japanese the amount of charaters (Im refering to Kanji not Kana) you depends on your grade. In first grade there are 80 characters to learn, in second grade that doubles to 160. In total the first 6 or 7 grades cover about 2,136. These are known are Jyouyou Kanji or everyday Kanji and are used quite often in everyday situations. After that there is Jinmei kanji which are used in names. But before anyone trys to learn learn kanji they should learn Kana FIRST. Their are 2 main types of Kana. Hiragana and Katakana. Hiragana is used for Native Japanese words and names. Katakana is used for Foreign names and Borrowing in the Japanese language. Both of these are used to learn how to pronounce Kanji and even be used instead of Kanji sometimes (e.g. when a young child is reading or writing) Both Kana sets have about 42 characters each. Their are times when kana is written on top of kanji or to the right of it (depending on the direction of the text) this is known as Furigana.
