The result of using the Curl applet for KKLC/KKLD with the Perapera browser plugin in Firefox and CintaNotes on Windows is shown in two steps below : first we have made a note in the text area with a COPY of a selection in the applet and we have Perapera displaying info for one of those kanji, 菓 ; next we have the result of using the 'c' key to copy the Perapera info and then PASTE with CTRL-v to save that info. Whatever we wish to keep, we have placed in the CintaNotes note by using CTRL-s to save-as-we-go.

( above is the applet with Perapera hint open and CintaNotes with an open note to the right )

Result of paste into browser app text area and into our CintaNotes note.

The operation has Firefox sized down to 1/2 of the screen to the left and CintaNotes as the same size to the right.

oku no hosomichi kanji

The image below is from my evolving HTML page of Bashō's oku no hosomichi travel journal [ 奥の細道 ] with furigana as superscript and the kanji that are neither in the most common newspaper 2,500 nor in KLC* are hi-lighted with a yellow background. Note that the 2 kanji forming his literary name are among those of note. Perapera shows many as being found in Heisig's Remembering the Kanji.

mahou bushu

The mahou.org radical select page for viewing kanji by bushu has proven more useful than I expected.

The 214 bushu page found at about.com is also useful, but rather different.  For example, at mahou.org I am able to treat take (bamboo) as a radical.

There is a terrific bushu page at denshi jisho which also allows multiple component radicals to be selected when looking for kanji. Once you have a set of results, you can click on each or mouse-over (if you have the Perapera dictionary plugin enabled - or a similar add-on.)
