They often look alike, though that's not always the case.
They certainly don’t sound alike, but they certainly mean the same.
If you know one, you should already know them all.
If one doesn’t know any, one should start with all three.
What are they? Why, they're Chinese character cognates, of course!

For the first time in English, Chinese Character Cognates elucidates on the unprecedented list of 808 characters that are common among Mandarin Hanzi, Japanese Kanji, and Korean Hanja. This list—released in 2014 by a group of government, business, and media leaders from China, Japan, and South Korea to promote mutual understanding and friendship in Northeast Asia—makes it natural for knowers of one of the three languages to pick up the other two thanks to the symbiotic correspondence inherent in the characters, and provides the curious and the serious student alike an indispensable resource in gaining a deeper and more meaningful appreciation of Chinese characters in general.

Tailored for independent study and useful everywhere characters are found, including Hong Kong, North Korea, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
