About this kanji
The kanji 謄, pronounced "tou," primarily means a copy or a reproduction. It is often used in relation to official documents, making it more common as a noun than as a verb. For example, 謄本 (touhon) means a certified copy, while 戸籍謄本 (kosekitouhon) refers to an official copy of the family register, important for legal purposes. Additionally, 謄写 (tousha) means to copy, and 謄写機 (toushaki) refers to a mimeograph machine used for printing copies. A useful note is that this kanji is usually found in contexts involving formal documentation or legal matters.
