The way you distinguish a Kanji (which you should use in the cases) from another/others, would be often of help not only for Japanese learners but also for native Japanese.
Especially for an uneducated person like me. So please keep providing these kind of stuff that you think it to be efficient to learn the language (Kanjis).

By the way, which Kanji would you use for あぶら when you translate this English sentence into Japanese ? (I am pretty sure you are already aware of this, but this question may be of help for those who read this thread.)

Which one (fish) is the highest in fat ?
一番あぶらが乗っているのはどれですか?

Sorry for my poor English, I hope you could get what I am saying.
