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.

Values of R000 above ( a total of 26 ) indicate that the kanji was not found in the book Les 500 Kanji.  One should note that a Japanese newspaper is more likely to have mention of politics and military matters than an introductory reader.
