My Curl kanji browser applet combined with Perapera and CintaNotes

Here is the result of my Curl applet for Conning's 2013 Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course book working within HTML with a TextArea, the Perapera kanji Firefox browser plugin and CintaNotes with its MySql db.

There is a more detailed explanation over at my KanjiRecog blog here on blogger/blogspot http://kanjirecog.blogspot.ca/2014/08/curl-conning-kanji-cintanotes.html

Curl applet with suitable free font for kanji strokes

IPA Mincho font with ClearType and DirectWrite in IE 11 on Win7 - a good result on an old multisync CRT at low rez in default screen view of my Curl applet at 5.0em —

A kanji app using my Conning-Halpern index to the 2013 Kodansha books

Kodansha kanji books for 2013

Here is a link to a demo applet of mine using my index to Conning and Halpern to display kanji : http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/conning_halpern_01.html but you must install the very safe MIT Curl web browser plugin now available from Tokyo's SCSK Corp at www.curl.com ( the plugin is called RTE for Runtime Engine, sometimes called the Surge plugin.)

The forum at www.curlap.com is very helpful or you can ask me how to configure the plugin ( it is very simple and has been widely using in Fortune 200 companies for over a decade in financials, banking - which is where I worked in it for a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters.)

The {k } could be your user defined layout macro or a function coded in the Curl web content programming language, an expression-based PL from MIT in Cambridge MA and now at SCSK Corp in Tokyo.

My next version will use a function to emit Curl TextShape objects within a container, so they will become an array with each {k ... } separated by commas, all line break {br} deleted and '{k' replaced with maybe {KLCTextShaper to give a more explanatory name for instances of objects. An easy transition from declarative markup to data.

Your fonts that are Unicode Japanese capable

This morning I wrote a nihongo fonts applet … a Curl browser applet (Linux, Mac, Windows) that shows which (if any) of your fonts on your device can display the Japanese Unicode character "zen" 禅 character … or it advises you that you have no such fonts … or advises you that you still have not installed the Curl 8 browser plugin.

The fonts true name (for use in a CSS or Curl style) is displayed in that font … as is the test character 禅. The font-size is 24pt. The next version will make that font size user-selectable as em or pt.

The title line is in the first of your Asian-capable Unicode fonts (by alphabetical order.) The entire applet is only a couple of lines of procedural-style Curl and then the applet ends with the layout as a simple declarative-style Curl expression.

I can send you the desktop app version by request.

Curl markup of haiku by Shiki

Here is a screenshot of the spring kigo haiku of 1897 by Masaoka Shiki. The Curl browser applet has indexed, selectable and searchable utf-8 text instead of SH-JIS. There are over 300 haiku
in this set.

Unicode to kanji

I have a small Curl applet at kanji.aule-browser.com which works as you see below ( before and after a request )

  

The original JPG is at http://kanji.aule-browser.com/unicode-to-kanji.jpg

Kanji of the Day

Because a collection of Curl objects underlies the Kanji by Grade pages at http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/kanjidic2-grades.html the pages now have a Kanji of the Day feature with only a minimal change (a variable's value replaces a character literal and a procedure is called with two integers to delimit a safe and reasonable range.)

The Kanji character for the session is placed as the default in the search text field. A student clicks the 'Find' button to jump to the definition for that Japanese kanji character.

Within the applet, the kanji character is found by using a factory method on the class Random and a seed from a DateTime instance. The instance of a Random type is likely LinearRandom as Random is itself an abstract  class.

The same class declaration 'scurl' file is included by all of these kanji-by-grade applets.

Note: I also generalized the search function today by using one more instance of GuiMark.

Find a haiku: GuiMark and TextSearchPattern

It was time to put a search panel into the views of Bashō haiku, so that was done today using the Curl GuiMark facility and the TextSearchPattern class.

What you see below is ぬ夜の雪 entered into the TextField next to the FIND button and the ScrollBox has scrolled down to place that poem at the top of our view.

This will now be the norm for these Curl applets on the web pages at aule-browser.com

Note added June 19: this is now generalized as a search using rotating GuiMark's.

serialization of an off-line text resource

To see the effect of my Curl serialization effort look at the speed of the small daily pages such as http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/poets/basho-mee-indexed.html

The new daily page generated fast and it loads very fast. I have already cycled twice through the BIN serialization files as I find minor transcription errors in the principal text resource - but that text resource now does not need to reside on the applet web server !

Here is a snapshot for 見

joyo kanji

I have added a Curl applet with the joyo kanji from the 2010 revision (that's 2136 dictionary entries from kanjidic2.)

I discuss the features over at my Curl Community blog. Here's the short account: suppose you are at 919; enter 40 and press ENTER.  Once the generic "water" kanji displays, the RIGHT INNER button beside the thin top right-arrow will let you "jump back up" to this 919 "window" kanji.

If you instead jump forward by entering 1926, you can "jump back" with the left "inner" button which is beside of the skinny LEFT arrow at the top.

Why the "jumps" ? The code was needed to add "red" and "green" buttons to a list on which to base "spaced-repetition".

A desktop version for Mac, linux or windows is about 24-hours away.

The list is just a CSV file, so you could move the applet to your own machine if you have a simple script in Rebol or the like - but it will then be a local browser page.  The desktop version will use no browser and store ts state in client-side persistent data instead of cookies.

HanaMinA TrueType font

Here is my little Dcurl Kanji app with a better UNICODE Kanji font:

over at kanji.aule-browser.com

Desktop Kanji

While there are a great many useful Kanji webpages for learning, studying and reviewing Japanese, I find that I like my small desktop app.

One reason is that I can flip off English and just leave it sit there on the desktop.  The web browser can close, I can do some programming, and then I give a click and confirm that I recall what that particular Kanji can mean.

Heisig Remembering Kanji with Curl

The Curl applet is here: http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/heisig-kanji.html

This one is for the entries in the Kanjidic2 online Japanese-English dictionary which have a number in Heisig "Remembering The Kanji" book (3007 Kanji translations in this set and only a max of 7 variants shown.)

Again, if you only want the CSV file, it is there for download. For other options, visit
