"Yomi" is a Japanese concept used by game theorists and high-level, fighting
game players. I came across it in February 2019 in a novel and it is quite
hard to find information about it online. All I need is the kanji though...

The kanji for "YOMI": Word For "Reading the Mind of Your Opponent"
The word you're looking for is 読み, which is an extremely basic word that means
"reading". The verb itself is something you may want to learn on the first day
of learning Japanese, but 読み is a conjugated form. Its "dictionary form" is
[読む](https://jisho.org/search/%E8%AA%AD%E3%82%80).

In gaming contexts, 読み also means predicting or guessing what will happen in
the near future. ("Reading the opponent's mind" seems a little too specific to
me because 読み can be a purely logical process. For example a recent computer
chess program can do 読み better than human beings.) It's critically important
in card games and board games like chess, but of course action game players
have to do some 読み, too.
