The kanji for ゴミ is 塵, but that's 14 strokes, compared with gomi's 5. I know they don't learn that kanji is school, I'm pretty sure it's not a Joyo kanji, and I don't know if most Japanese people would even be able to read it. The most famous examples of "using kanji for kanji that we don't know" are for plant and animal names. To use some examples of plants and animals that have already been mentioned on this podcast: オオカミ=狼 (wolf) ジンチョウゲ=沈丁花 (daphne) キンモクセイ=金木犀 (fragrant olive) And on, and on, and on. アルフォンソ,
