Is there Unicode mail out there?

2001-07-08 Thread
My onna.com mail is very good to let me read mail in many encodings; however, I think it only sends in SJIS or something. Where is there a Unicode mail? I think there is at least one out there. I hope it will not cost me money; that is for sake. That is, the U+9152 sake. $B!!!z$8$e$&$$$C$A$c$s

The Unicode 3.0 book does not have sake under water plus 7 strokes. Sake IS water with 7 strokes more, isn't it? Has this been corrected in 3.1? I notice these things. $B!!!z$8$e$&$$$C$A$c$s!z(B $B!!;d$O$m$3$($s$i$+$Y$5!#(B Riddle of the week: What song is 35971040100? That is not a cata

Shouldn't HAN DIGIT NINE be a radical? I've seen it in a few places in kanji. Also, what is the radical of "cut"? "Sword"? I remember the "cut" chatacter by thinking that 7 swords do a lot of cutting. $B!!!z$8$e$&$$$C$A$c$s!z(B $B!!;d$O$m$3$($s$i$+$Y$5!#(B Riddle of the week: What song is

If you know even a few Hanzi, you probably know at least a couple of radicals, like person and water. If you really know nothing about Hanzi, you could use a little chart like what is already there, that shows the variant forms of radicals. $B!!!z$8$e$&$$$C$A$c$s!z(B $B!!;d$O$m$3$($s$i$+$Y
