Kanji are sometimes displayed incorrectly on mobile devices. You can fix this by using a custom font. Download a .ttf
font such as IPA. (The CoR has a selection of fonts for download, with previews. Other useful font comparison sites: fonts for work, fonts for play, this image, and this site.) Then, follow the instructions in the Anki manual to install it.

Kanji are the third part of the Japanese writing system, and by far the most extensive. These logographic characters of varying complexity represent words or parts of words in conjunction with the kana. Japanese high school students are required to learn at least 2136 kanji as part of the curriculum, but around 3,000 are used in all facets of life.

You should first familiarize yourself with the radicals that kanji are composed of, as explained in “Radical approach” below. An Anki deck with production/recall-type cards could be very conducive to this method since, rather than writing out characters at random, you would instead be frequently writing out the ones you're struggling to remember, while only occasionally writing out ones which you remember consistently. The general consensus is that the readings for the characters should be learned through vocabulary, so you should just focus on associating each kanji with its meaning(s). If you're struggling with a particular kanji, don't be afraid to make up a mnemonic based on its radicals.

These two words have the same reading, and meaning. How do I distinguish them, and why is Japan trying to fuck me?

KanjiDamage - Another kanji resource that uses a radical-based order. Unlike Heisig’s method it also teaches the readings and gives you examples of common words that use those kanji (great for adding them to your Anki deck right away). Take the introduction on the site with a grain of salt, as it isn’t very accurate, or is just plain wrong, as is the case with some other areas on the site, but that in no way makes this a bad resource in regards to learning. You may want to simply use the shared deck for Anki (see Cornucopia of Resources) instead of the website in tandem with another vocabulary deck in order to build up a big cache of words quickly.
