Re: Suggestions for next print edition
You can always search the big Unihan.txt file on the kJapaneseKun and kJapaneseOn fields, which provide whatever information we have on pronunciation of the characters in Japanese. If you are just stuck looking up stuff because it isn't marked up for Japanese, try getting Sanseido's Unicode Kanji Information Dictionary, which has the first 20,902 kanji in Unicode (the most useful set) all marked up with all the Japanese pronunciations (where they have any). The first suggestion is useless. The file is too freaking big so maybe I'll go with the second. Thanks. -- ___ Get your free email from http://www.ranmamail.com Powered by Outblaze
Suggestions for next print edition
1. Unicode points are NUMBERS. Numbers can be written in ANY base. Knowing decimal values of codepoints is sometimes useful, so please print them in the next edition of the Unicode book. 2. There was a Shift-JIS index for kanji. I don't know much about kanji, but it seems to me that they are arranged in a-i-u-e-o order of on'yomi. Why not print little hiragana letters at the top to aid people searching for a kanji? Remember how I could not find the ran of randamu before? Let's see this time... Aha! There is is! I know it was somewhere between mo(kuyoubi) and (fu)ro. Better than stroke / radical, I wonder? * Disclaimer: From what I hear, the Japanese do NOT write randamu as U+4E71 U+3060 U+3080. They use U+30E9 U+30F3 U+30C0 U+30E0. But the first is cuter. ^_^ -- ___ Get your free email from http://www.ranmamail.com Powered by Outblaze
