Partially. I recently wanted to type 𰻝𰻝面 but my keyboard didn’t suggest 𰻝 even when I tried biang or biang biang. The is that there are several characters with the same syllable and then I still have to know which character is the correct one. And even though there are so many the still sometimes have several meanings. For example in Chinese the character 面 means noodle or flour or side or face (maybe even more). And I still can only sometimes infer the sound from the character. If someone were to ask me I’d ditch Kanji in Japanese and only us Romaji. Unlike English the sounds are actually standardized and it would make writing more compatible with a lot of countries. I’d also accept Hiragana or Katakana. But only one of them. I’d also start a writing reform in English so that the spoken and the written English fit together better.
