Parity with Japanese's kanji and kana: - The characters' tab is named by its language (Hanzi, Hangul & Hanja, Alphabet), its groups too: HSK levels and the characters in common use (Hong Kong's grades for traditional ones); Hangul and the Hanja taught in schools; Greek's letters. Radicals for Chinese and Korean in their own forms (讠 for 言 in simplified Chinese), none for Greek. - A character's readings are named as its language names them: On and Kun, Pinyin, Eum and Hun (음, 훈); a letter means its sound and name. - How characters are written comes by language: Chinese from Make Me a Hanzi (its medians in KanjiVG's square, Arphic Public License, a data file beside the app, never in cards), the Hangul letters drawn by the curator; a Korean word is written letter by letter (닭: ㄷ ㅏ ㄺ). Words of alphabets (German, Greek) aren't written by hand. - A Chinese word's pinyin is typed in a session, tone numbers turning into marks (ni3 → nǐ); KRDict's levels (초급, 중급, 고급) tag Korean words; a Korean word's pronunciation shows in brackets ([가치]). - Smaller: Look up in the composer keeps a noun's article; the Watch filter names its level list; hints and placeholders by language.

# Stroke data of Chinese characters
|
||
|
||
The stroke files in this folder derive from **Make Me a Hanzi**
|
||
(<https://github.com/skishore/makemeahanzi>), its data as of 2018-10-16
|
||
(commit `618dbab`), by Shaunak Kishore:
|
||
|
||
- the strokes from its `graphics.txt`, derived from the fonts Arphic PL KaitiM
|
||
GB and Arphic PL UKai, © 1999 Arphic Technology Co., Ltd., distributed under
|
||
the Arphic Public License (`ARPHICPL.TXT`, unaltered, as it asks);
|
||
- the components from its `dictionary.txt`, derived from the Unihan database
|
||
(© Unicode, Inc.) and CJKlib, distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public
|
||
License, version 3 or later (`LGPL.txt`, with Unicode's notice, as Make Me a
|
||
Hanzi ships it).
|
||
|
||
They are distributed under the same licences; the app's licence list shows
|
||
both. `halkyon_learn_curator`'s `curate makemeahanzi` writes them (see its
|
||
README), and each file says how and when it was changed (`notice`), as the
|
||
Arphic Public License asks: every stroke is the line Make Me a Hanzi draws
|
||
through its middle (its median), scaled into KanjiVG's 109 × 109 square with
|
||
its y axis pointing down, without the outlines; a character's components are
|
||
the first split of its decomposition (海: 氵, 每). They are an aggregate beside
|
||
the app, never part of its code nor copied into cards: a card names its
|
||
character, and the app draws it from these files.
