KLC kanji without classic haiku poets for a mnemonic context

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

There remain 691 KLC* kanji needing a literary mnemonic context even after Shiki, Issa, Merwin's Buson and Basho have been scanned.

As I am seeing rapidly diminishing returns, contemporary tanka may not help : but I will try some recent short stories and novella.

Here is the set :

One example is this :

KLC 931,旨,purport (gist) which is Henshall 1312 or Heisig 455 or Kodansha Essential 232 and is a 2-2-4 SKIP code in Halpern or Tuttle 1077 (according to Denshi Jisho on-line.)

Henshall Heisig Conning Kodansha index

If you follow this blog you will know that I now have the pieces required to build a cross-index of Andrew Scott Conning's The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course and the books by Heisig, Henshall or the Kodansha Essential Kanji ( which is the same set as Henshall.)

I will probably use a script in Cambridge MA ( MIT ) Curl ( now SCSK Curl of Tokyo ) to collate the CVS files built from EDICT or KanjiDic2.

Conning is already indexed against the new Halpern 2nd Ed. of his Kanji Learner's Dictionary at the level of the individual entries, as is Halpern against the full Kodansha Kanji Dictionary. Only the new Halpern provides Unicode values for the kanji. The new Halpern KLD entries have the index for an entry in the new KLC where one exists (42 of the KLC Kanji are not in the KLD, but it has 3002 to the 2300 in the KLC.)

When time permits,I will index these books against Minna no Nihongo, the Genki books and Japanese for Busy People ( kana editions.)

Henshall ON-yomi-ONLY sorted

Today I added 2 CSV files (comma-separated fields) of the Henshall ON-yomi-ONLY kanji per KANJIDIC2 of edrg.org entries.

One file is sorted by Unicode value (the character, as this is a UTF-8 file) and one by the Henshall ID.

The fields are kanji, UCS, ID, ON-yomi, meanings (as found in kanjidic2 ; up to 14.)

An example (note ·  used to separate ON-yomi ) :

不,4E0D,572,フ·ブ,negative,non-,bad,ugly,clumsy,,,,,,,

Henshall versus kanjidic2

Henshall gives 貝 as かい but jisho.org and such give

貝 バイ  かい shellfish

which I think of as English "buy" with French "caille".

The Kanji Learner's course also has only the hiragana, which makes sense, because the common words and expressions are built with かい.

However バイ is what you find in the name of 貝 as radical 154.

---

Henshall ON-yomi-ONLY kanji

I have placed 2 CSV files on the kanji.aule-browser.com site.

One has 366 Kanji from the Henshall 1946 kanji : these 366 only have an ON-yomi given in kanjidic2 from edrdg.org and are listed with their Henshall index, UNICODE value, ON-yomi and meanings.

There is the one oddity : 塀 for 'fence' which is given as kokuji but has no kun-yomi.

There is a separate file with the few kokuji with ONLY a kun-yomi that are are found in Henshall according to kanjidic2.

I will do a spot check on these as I have my edition of Henshall indexed for these.

The numbers Hnnnn are for Henshall's A Guide to Remembering … and the point is to construct a mnemonic tale with all 19 characters … preferrably one you can write down later with the kanji correct and legible. The '\u' numbers are the Unicode-16 values in hex.

Here is a web page with an image for the above.

The image from that page is here.

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

例   4F8B   605  example  ·  custom, usage, precedent

Henshall CSV

I have uploaded a CSV file (comma-separated) with the 1,945 kanji from the Henshall mnemonics book.

The file includes up to 12 meanings and the ON-YOMI and kun-yomi readings.

It can be downloaded safely here: kanji.aule-browser.com/csv/kanjidic2-yomi-m12-hn.csv

Note that the file has a 3-row header which you may wish to discard and replace with your own column names.

ON-Yomi kun-yomi Readings

There is now a page with readings for the 1,945 basic Henshall kanji.

 Here is a snapshot :

kanji by UCS

Here are some the the first, basic Japanese kanji sorted by their UCS value (UTF-16 codepoint)


一  丁  七  万  丈  三  上  下  不  与  世  丘  丙  両  並  中  丸  丹  主  久  乏  乗  乙  九  乱  乳  乾  事  二  亜  享  京  亭  人  仁  今

Is a particular pattern evident or helpful ?

I am in the process of adding a UCS - to- kanji -to- urlencoded - utf-8 page over at kanji.aule-browser.com which uses the Curl web content language (only a few lines of declarative script and a wee bit of procedural script required.)

UPDATE : that page with the HTML urlencoding for each character is at http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/henshall-sorted-urlencoded.html .

A simpler plain HTML page is http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/henshall-sorted-by-unicode.html .

Another safe, plain HTML page with no scripts, images, ads or other nuisance has the 1,945 Hernshall basic Japanese kanji sorted as they appear in the book - by their so-called Henshall number - is at http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/henshall-sorted-by-id.html.

By viewing the page source in your browser you can see that there are no script or image elements to worry about - so you can safely copy this HTML text to your local machine to edit as you see fit.

The HTML text was generating using a Curl applet running off-line and parsing the Kanjidic2 XML.

Recognizing Kanji

I find that the Henshall page a kanji.aule-browser.com works well with the Beta 9.05 dictionary page.

Once I recognize the kanji on the first page, I can see the double character expressions in Edict2 on the second page.

These 9 kanji, taken in order descending the Henshall page, will traverse the Edct2 dictionary:

    意    観      好    昭      情      送      到      貿       礼

The Henshall kanji page begins as follows:

and the second, the dictionary, follows in order as:

The dictionary look-up does require the RTE browser plugin from Tokyo's SCSK Corp at curl.com.

There will soon be pages linking directly into the dictionary just as I now have pages linked into  wiktionary.org.

Those pages will start as Henshall, Heisig, Jōyō and Tuttle kanji sets.
