Wakan tool kanji tip


So I have copied a Japanese web page to my computer clipboard memory and now I have them displayed in Wakan using the "Character" menu choice for the clipboard content.  How do I now get a copy of any one of those unique and sorted kanji for a text search elsewhere ?

TIP : I display the UNICODE on the Wakan character details so I copy that 4-hex value and enter it into a CTRL-f search at http://kanji.aule-browser.com/henshall-sorted-urlencoded.html and very often get a hit and just copy that kanji from its row.

My next stop now that I have the kanji is often jisho.org

Why not just go to jisho and search by Unicode ? Because if I must do several kanji, I find that having the web page linked above open in a browser tab is simply faster - most often ... and the Henshall number is in plain view.

kanjidic2 scrolling kanji viewer take 2


The scrolling Curl viewer for kanjidic2 kanji (index,kanji,English transl) has been restored at http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/kanjidic2-all-indexed-curl.html

Use the find field or click in the app and then CTRL-F to search. The alternate mouse button (for me that is the left button) will bring up a context menu if you select text in the app.

I will add an async view with much more content as time and energy permit ( it will load in chunks of content in the background as well jump forward to retrieve and then display a "page" of content.)

At the moment the app does not remember where you were on a past visit.

To clear the app from memory, use the Curl control panel app view button (bottom right on that panel.)

The Curl browser plugin is at www.curl.com or www.curlap.com (Nihongo site.)

If you want this as a desktop or mobile app let me know (linux, mac or any Windows; Android or iOS.)

kanji characterizer Firefox plugin

 
I thought this was a cute plugin while learning Japanese kanji : characterizer.

It is no replacement for an edict plugin or for jisho.org but it is fun.  It flips the first letter of a word to a kanji where that string of characters is a dictionary match.  As I said : a dictionary match.

Not advised on a grumpy day, but then it is driven from the menu so is not a nuisance.

Like all such, I installed it on a version of Firefox that I do not use for speed/performance (in my case, generic Firefox.)

I have not tried it with PaleMoon or WaterFox 64-bit Windows builds of the Firefox codebase and I have not tested on Linux (which I use when I am trying to learn or work — as opposed to amuse or relax.)

And I have a new nihongo link for my Aule web homepage.  What ?!? You don't have your own off-line web home page ?  Are you not in the Fredericton e-zone ?!?




Tangorin Frequent 500 kanji


At the KanjiAule I have placed an alternate HTML page of random output of top 500 kanji from tangorin. I have reverted to pre-HTML5 and fixed some HTML validation errors.

Here is a snap :
 
Here is an alternate order page.
I have added a version with only the ON and Kun readings (no translations) for recalling mnemonics without interference.
