katakana and hiragana charts PNG

I have placed two Japanese kana chart images at aule-browser.com/nihongo :

aule-browser.com/nihongo/images/hiragana-rs-72pt-1280-960.png

and

aule-browser.com/nihongo/images/katakana-rs-72pt-1280-960.png

which were both created using an easy to edit script in the Curl web content language ( formerly MIT Curl before being marketted by Curl Corp and now maintained in Version 8 by SCSK of Tokyo.)

The font in this case is 72pt HanaMinA in navy blue on a cornsilk background.

The same basic charts in Meiryo font can be seen at

aule-browser.com/nihongo/images/hiragana-rs-72pt-1280-960-meiryo.png

and

aule-browser.com/nihongo/images/katakana-rs-72pt-1280-960-meiryo.png

The Curl macros used are simply table, row and cell as in

  {table 
         {row {cell A} {cell B} {cell C} ... }
         {row {cell J} {cell K} {cell L} ... }
         ...
  }

A few blank cells were used for alignment where no character exists in a given column and are merely

   {cell \ }

The slash + space gives us a space character rather like a non-breaking blank in HTML.
