Kanji have extremely inconsistent pronunciation. It is one of the worst things about learning the language. It's not just 2000, it's 2000, most with multiple readings, many with exceptional readings.

Yeah, even some simple ones you learn early on like 日 will have 5+ readings. Daily Kanji practice is what really made it hard for me to keep learning and why i gave up after only a few months.
