 EP1010057 Tegic european software patent - Reduced keyboard disambiguating system - Gauss   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Word-level disambiguation disambiguates entire words by comparing the sequence of received keystrokes with possible matches in a dictionary after the receipt of an unambiguous character signifying the end of the word.
For example, word-level disambiguation oftentimes fails to decode a word correctly, because of the limitations in identifying unusual words and the inability to decode words that are not contained in the dictionary.
After the expiration of the minimum time-out delay period, or upon receipt of a keystroke on a different key, the currently indicated symbol is accepted as the next symbol of the multiple-stroke interpretation of the current keystroke sequence, and the visual indication of the symbol is removed from the key.

 Kana   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
:''For other meanings of Kana, see Kana (disambiguation).'' Kana is a general term for two types of syllabic Japanese script: hiragana (&12402;&12425;&12364;&12394;) and katakana (&12459;&12479;&12459;&12490;).
These were developed as an alternative and adjunct to ideograph based characters of Chinese origin, or Kanji (&28450;&23383;).
The pronunciations of medial h-row kana does not extend to compound words, thus, &12395;&12411;&12435; was pronounced nihon not nion (but note that There are a small number of counterexamples, e.g., &12354;&12402;&12427; "duck", pronounced ahiru rather than airu or &12405;&12376;&12399;&12425; (&12405;&12386;&12399;&12425;?) pronounced Fujiwara, despite being a compound of Fuji (wisteria) + hara (field).

 Hiragana Dictionary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Hiragana (平仮名, literally "smooth kana") are a Japanese syllabary, one of four Japanese writing systems (the others are katakana, kanji and rōmaji).
It would be nice to have some approximate years when Hiragana was invented, when it was used in novels, when it came to be used for okurigana, etc. It would also be nice to show a sample of how words today written in hiragana used to be written in kanji.
Hiragana was not developed for okurigana, and in fact, was not used primarily for that purpose until the postwar era when a lot of orthographic reforms were introduced (reduced kanji set, formalization of katakana/hiragana roles, rationalized kana spellings): look at some pre-war printed matter and you'll see that most okurigana was in katakana.

For example, additional "graphical characters" (e.g., punctuation marks) would be expected to be placed in the 0xa3c0—0xa3fe range, and additional ideograms would be placed in either the 0xc6a1—0xc8fe or the 0xf9d6—0xfefe range.
Sometimes, this is not possible due to the large number of extended characters to be added; for example, Cyrillic letters and Japanese kana have been placed in the zone associated with "frequently-used characters".
Contrary to popular belief, an individual Big5 code does not always represent a complete semantic unit.
