Damn, Tenshin Amaguri, why you make such tiny handwritten kanji? It looks like "抖念仁やな", but those kanji don't seem to make anything meaningful together anywhere I search.

It's 朴念仁.

For something this, since the first kanji is a little hard to make out, is just do a dictionary search for ?念仁, and 朴念仁 is the only result. Alternatively, putting it through a waifu2x upscale makes it pretty clear. What with it being RJ, it could have been Kansai-ben, but apart from the やな, it's standard Japanese.

...oh my god, I never knew you could do something like ?念仁, with the ?. I kno this wasn't directed at me, but thank you for that.

Depending on what dictionary you're using, you can also use multiple question marks and/or asterisks - such as if you're trying to find a 4-character idiom or something, and didn't want to have a 2-character word show up.

Doesn't seem to work for me on Weblio. Are there any settings to be tweaked?

Weblio doesn't support lookups like that, you need to use a different dictionary.

I just use jisho.org:"jisho", since I like to just search straight from the address bar. It's got a nice range of search option, and handily for me, considers [？＊] and [? *] the same for the purposes of wildcards.

I'm sure there are others out there that are similar... but they all use the same dictionary files anyway.

Thanks a lot Paracite!
