tangorin.com syntax
Hi. I like to use tangorin.com to look up Japanese words.
(If this link doesn't work, this is just a search for きれい on tangorin.com .)
Example:
https://tangorin.com/kanji?search=%E3%81%8D%E3%82%8C%E3%81%84
きれい☆《奇麗・綺麗・暉麗old》キレイKIREI☆

My question is, does the information inside the 《》marks mean that those kanji can be used to spell きれい ?
So, does 奇麗 mean きれい ?
Does 綺麗 mean きれい?
Does 奇麗 mean the same as 綺麗 ?

Thank you!

＞So, does 奇麗 mean きれい ? Does 綺麗 mean きれい? Does 奇麗 mean the same as 綺麗 ?

Yes, you're right. You can use either 奇麗 or 綺麗 for 「きれい」、but in informal sentences it's best to use the hiragana　きれい。

Answer

We often use 綺麗 and きれい.
I image stylish beauty from 綺麗.
So it's up to you.
