Did we know that there are korean made characters too?? - 國字 (국자). I found out about this on this reddit thread, blew my mind!

Oh that’s so fun! Here’s a namu wiki article with more detail and a list https://namu.wiki/w/국자(한자)#s-2.3.

I like 㒱 meaning 꿈 pronounced 몽 (like in 악몽) So it’s a simplification of 夢 which got simplified in China later to 梦. It’s cool to see how differently it was simplified at different times.

If you’re looking for a list of words that includes a specific hanja, Daum’s hanja dictionary is great!

My go-to dictionary is naver, but their hanja results aren’t particularly useful; here’s naver’s results for words containing 山, compared to daum’s.
