Many conjunctions, adverbs, pronouns, auxiliary verbs, and so on, which were to be written in 'hiragana' as part of the reformation of the Japanese language after the Second World War were written with kanji (Chinese characters) or their abbreviated forms ('soro' is replaced with a dot or simple mark).
戦後の国語改革ですべて「ひらがな」で表記することになった、接続詞・副詞・代名詞・助動詞などの多くが、漢字またはその略体（「候」を点・簡略記号ですませる）で表記される。
