Meet in Japanese 🇯🇵

The same hiragana is used for two different words

This is the problem of not using kanji. The same kana is used for two different herbs with distinct kanjis, one meaning to meet and the other to fit. It would be better to use kanji to avoid such confusion. Why this app won't use kanji, when standard Japanese does?
