Henshall Japanese kanji (3 pages, revised)


I have revised the layout of several pages of the complete Henshall kanji set of 1,945.
  1. Sorted by UCS with url encoded value
  2. Sorted by Henshall book entry number
  3. Sorted by Unicode UTF-16
A typical row from the last would be

  4F8B   605  example  ·  custom, usage, precedent

nehen kanji


A page of basic ネ偏 nehen kanji : http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/nehen-kanji.html


礼 社 祈 

祉 祖 祝 

神 祥 視 

禍 禅 福 

Most are either links to stroke order and other pages at jisho.org or (if in simple rows) have a roll-over title with ON-YOMI and kun-yomi or at least one English equivalent.

英 kanji compounds


http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%8B%B1#Compounds

The English wiktionary has some excellent pages for kanji compounds.

The page above is for  

英気 (えいき, eiki)
英語 (えいご, eigo)
英国 (えいこく, eikoku)
英断 (えいだん, eidan)
英和 (えいわ, eiwa)
英知 (えいち, eichi)
英智 (えいち, Eichi)
英雄 (えいゆう, eiyū)
英霊 (えいれい, eirei)
石英 (せきえい, sekiei)  quartz

I might add

英会話 (えいかいわ, eikaiwa)
English conversation ( and so, in context, such a school or course)

The page denshi jisho has several expressions ending in 英

Currently Google translate offers only 'British' in English for 英 and so that is all that can be given for other languages ( but even denshi jisho has anglais for French, but not britannique !)

Possibilities :

咲く  bloom, infloresence
輝かしい brilliant  but see 賢い and several cognate expressions

compare: 開花

Unicode radicals for kanji 部首 ぶしゅ ブシュ


Wikipedia has a page of Unicode values for radicals.

But they have ⼿ for the tehen bushū or 部首 (ぶしゅ) when I am looking for the left-side component of Henshall 682 "pick up", i.e.,   (サイ / と.る) which is .

Another article says was added later as a "redundant semantic determinative."

Two-kanji Japanese terms


The actual title of these useful wiktionary pages is Japanese terms written with two Han script characters. Each entry is a link to a wiktionary lexicon entry.

I am thinking of writing a Rebol or Curl ( Curl, not cURL ) script to make these pages accept persistent annotations for mnemonics - and perhaps also user links.

Regardless, they are very useful: each page is 200 out of 13,473 ( I think that I will make that limit a user configuration item.)

I left my T-square hanging in the basement joists of a previous house.  Here is the link to T-measuring-rule.
