compound kanji definitions

A dictionary popup is now part of my Curl® Japanese haiku pages: ( link)


Single kanji definitions are drawn from kanjidic2 and compound kanji from a set of 9 Curl binary selections from edict2.  At the moment only compounds at the beginning of an entry are found (those forming the initial characters of an expression.)  For our purposes, the full set of 162,000+ entries has been resuced to roughly 122,000.

Dictionaries are not loaded unless needed and that need is determined by membership of kanji in Char Set's ( in Curl, a CharClass) which, incidentally, has a {fold } expression available.
