Originally posted by uccemebug I put together this tool last week to help me prepare for an exam (I live in Japan), and will be expanding it on a daily basis as a study tool. Perhaps it would help with understanding relatively simple things like dates.
http://jjj.emuu.net/kanji.php This is a great little tool.
However, I have a hard time to find the Kanji in your list. We lack the school education about the taxonomy of Kanji letters. I know there are only 81 of them, or so. Still, I cannot tell a Kanji letter by name.
So, why not offer an input field (on your page) where I can enter the Kanji letter (like '月') and jump to the corresponding page (
http://jjj.emuu.net/kanji.php?217)?
This works because Kanji letters are Unicode ( 月 = & #26376; ) and can be copy-pasted w/o problems. So, you would have to map 26376 -> 217 (in Unicode, in 'shift-jis' encoding, the one you use on your page, it would be different).
I really liked your page about the moon Kanji. Couldn't find the other letters.
EDIT:
Why not add 'の' and 'つ', 'と', 'か'? I know, not Kanjis, but look-a-likes and we still wonder what they mean
Living in Munich, I call the first one 'pretzel'. Is it called like this in Tokyo too?
