List of kanji with number of kana for each one?

Just wondering if such a list exists, e.g. 魚=さかな (3 kana), 周=しゅう (2 kana – I’m not counting the small kana as that’s just ‘modifying’ the first kana), etc. I also understand that a lot of kanji have multiple pronunciations.

  1. I’ve never heard of anything like this. I imagine it would be kind of impracrical for the reason you mentioned. I also don’t know if it would actually have any practical purpose. Why are you looking for a list like this? Just plain curiousity, or is there some other practical reason that I just didn’t realize?
