Curl Kanji Study Applet for Remembering the Henshall Kanji

There is a view of the first version of my Curl Kanji applet at http://kanji.aule-browser.com/

These are the Kanji entries in the Kanjidic2 XML Japanese-English dictionary which correspond to Henshall's "Remembering Japanese Characters" book. I also include the UNICODE UTF-8 codepoint for use in HTML

塦  =  Curl's  \u5866  for our 学 character or U+5866, if your prefer.

The web applet is a few lines in the Curl web programming language from SCSK at curl.com or curlap.com

Kanjidic2 as CSV in HTML and text

To aid a neutral party in assessing approaches to digital dictionaries for Japanese, I have posted an HTML file displaying 10,000+ of the first entries in Kanjidic2 at

  http://kanji.aule-browser.com/kanjidic2-m12.html

I have restricted the dump to the Kanji, the UCS code and a max of 12 of a possible 14 meanings.

There are less than 10,200 due to the fact that in the first 12,155 entries, many had no XML meaning content which was not assigned a language attribute.  Those few thousand may have English translations in markup previously used for foreign languages.

The file can be found as

  http://kanji.aule-browser.com/kanjidic2-m12.csv

with a three line header which you may have to alter for your purposes.

The Kanjidic2 XML file was parsed using the Curl XDM library from curl.com (Nihon-go http://www.curlap.com)

As it stands, the HTML file should be useful for building custom Anki flashcards (themselves stored as SQLite.)   I will be using variant CSV output to construct dictionary software with annotations and spaced-repetition options.  Curl has both CSV and SQLite libraries in addition to the XML libraries.
