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.

On-yomi and kun-yomi variations in the Conning kanji selections


漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

This is an unusual sequence in Conning's KKLC ; you may note that 3 have no on-yomi in Conning and 4 have no kun-yomi but this will not always match the more complete Halpern 2013 2nd ed. KKLD ( the second column of id's) or a book such as Henshall. Conning's book is focussed on learning the BASIC meanings of his 2,300 kanji (Halpern has 3,002.)
