About this kanji

The kanji 「且」 primarily means "moreover" or "also," and it is typically used as a conjunction. In Japanese, you might encounter it in various compounds such as 「且つ」 (かつ), which means "and," linking items together, or 「尚且つ」 (なおかつ), which means "besides" and adds extra information. Another example is 「暫且」 (ざんしょ), meaning "short while," suggesting a temporary situation. It's useful for creating connections in sentences or emphasizing additional points. One thing to note is that this kanji often appears in more formal or literary contexts, making it less common in casual conversation.
