There are characters of Katakana in Kanji? When i was looking at some Kanji characters, i saw the Kanji character for evening it looked like a think the katakana charcater for "chi." How could we distinguish katakana, hiragana, or Kanji while reading japanese?

Katakana "タ" (ta) is almost the same as kanji "夕" (pronounced "yuu") that means "evening". There are more cases of similarities. Katakana "エ" (e) is the same as kanji "工" (kou) that means "craft" or "work" Katakana "カ" (ka) is the same as kanji "力" (ryoku, riki, chikara) that means "power" or "force" Katakana "ニ" (ni) is the same as kanji "二" (ni) that means "two" Katakana "ハ" (ha) is very similar to kanji "八" (hachi) that means "eight" Katakana "ロ" (ro) is the same as kanji "口" (kou, kuchi) that means "mouth" They are indeed confusing for learners of Japanese, but we do not get messed up because we can distinguish them by way of context and collocation in the sentence. Like in English, "1" (one) often looks like "l" (el) but English speakers rarely get confused.

You can normally tell just by looking at a sentence. I don't think there are many one-letter katakana words. Also, the context of the sentence can help you. パンダは口が大きいです。 Panda wa kuchi ga ookii desu.Pandas have big mouths. ”Panda wa ro ga ookii desu,” just doesn't make sense.
