Questions about Su in Japanese

How do you write Su in Japanese?

Su is written スー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Su would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Su?

Our top pick is 澄 (Su). 澄 means “clarity”. Other good options are 寿 (Su) and 珠 (Su).

Is 澄 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 澄 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Kiyoshi and Kiyomi rather than Su. As a spelling of Su, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 澄?

澄 has 15 strokes. That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 澄 as a tattoo?

Each character in 澄 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Su”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (スー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
