Well the kanji isn't just called hot in English but the three different kanji's can define as hot in weather, something hot or something heavy or thick. So kanji can help people know weather it means weather hot, something thick, or somethings hot by reading. I know it is confusing at first but you will eventually get used to it. (This was really hard to explain...sorry if it doesn't make sense...dm me or comment for extra help)
