	Multiple Indexing in an Electronic Kanji Dictionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Kanji dictionaries, which need to present a large number of complex characters in an order that makes them accessible by users, traditionally use several indexing techniques that are particularly suited to the printed medium.
		The general problem confronting the publication of kanji dictionaries is the large number of kanji in use and the absence of an intrinsic and recognized lexical order for kanji.
		One form of electronic kanji dictionary which is amenable to the direct measurement of usage patterns is the kanji dictionary component of WWW-based Japanese dictionary, such as the WWWJDIC server (Breen, 2003) developed by the author.

	Kanji Dictionary: dictionaries for learning Japanese
		Since Kodansha International announced the publication of Jack Halpern's The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (KALD) in February 1999, this dictionary was reprinted several times and a new edition was released in 2001.
		The dictionary has now become a widely used, popular reference work for learning Japanese throughout the world.
		This dictionary is based on the world-renowned NTC/ Kenkyusha New Japanese-English Character Dictionary (NJECD), which has become a standard reference work and has enjoyed the praise of world-renowned scholars and countless learners of Japanese worldwide.

	Amazon.com: Books: The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (Kodansha Dictionary) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A unique feature of this dictionary that overcomes this difficulty is the core meaning, a concise keyword that defines the dominant sense of each character, followed by detailed character meanings and numerous compounds that clearly show how thousands of building blocks are combined to form countless compound words.
		This dictionary is modest in its coverage compared to others of comparable physical size (although to be fair it does include a good number of kanji that are common in names but rare in other uses- a nice touch).
		Kanji with multiple general meanings are presented with multiple key-words and the listings under the kanji are organised to reflect these different meanings.

		Note that it is possible to use multiple dictionaries, as specified in the command-line or.xjdicrc file, and to select which dictionary to use in a search by using the "=", "^" or "_" commands.
		In this option, several dictionary files are examined during a search, and the longest match is reported, preceded by the dictionary number.
		Whereas in JDIC/JREADER I use a compressed kanji dictionary file with separate index files for Nelson number, stroke count, yomikata, etc. (originally devised by Stephen Chung for his JWP Word Processor package), in XJDIC I have used the same indexing and lookup approach as with the main dictionary.

	Nicolas Delerue, Book reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Some Japanese dictionaries order the kanjis by their pronunciation, using the consonant order, but this requires that one already knows the pronunciation of the kanji and is useless for foreigners learning Japanese.
		When one knows the pronunciation of a Kanji, it is possible to search the kanji in the «On-kun» index which orders the kanjis by their pronunciation (and as a kanji can have different pronunciations, it may appear more than once in the index).
		A few numbers are associated with each Kanji like its Unicode value (very useful if you have to type Kanji with a non-japanese Keyboard), its radical (so that if you had not been able to identify the radical, you can see what it is and learn for the next time) and its Joyo list number.

	Amazon.com: Books: Kodansha's Furigana Japanese Dictionary: Japanese-English English-Japanese (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		One great feature about this dictionary particularly valuable to beginners who may not know many kanji is that all the kanjis, be they in the entries or the examples, have small kanas printed over them indicating their pronunciation, i.e., furigana.
		Of course, a bound dictionary will never be able to compete with an electronic dictionary for number of words and convenience, but the arduous process of looking up words the old fashioned way seems to help with retention, as well as mastering the kana.
		Kanji dictionaries contain only words written in kanji, so, anyway, you'll also need a dic that covers kana-only words and that is ordered by kana alphabetic order, and this dictionary here is a good one.

		The state of Japanese-English dictionaries is a sad and sorry one indeed.
		The dictionaries which list words in both kanji and kana tend to be geared toward beginners.
		Kanji and Kana: A Handbook of the Japanese Writing System, by Hadamitzky and Spahn, is an excellent learning guide and a good resource for looking up kanji in the absence of anything else.

	tk kanji
		Kanji dictionary files compiled by Jim Breen at Monash University in Melbourne.
		Tk Kanji illustrates the speed with which cross-platform applications can be built in Tcl/Tk, the extent and ease of use of the internationalization features of Tcl/Tk, and a bug in the Tcl internationalization support.
		Knowing the encoding of a file, Tcl is able to read the file and translate its contents into Unicode, a character set which represents all the ways currently used by human beings to write their languages.

	RADICALS
		I should note here that the kanji in the main text of Nelson's dictionary are arranged sequentially from the lowest numbered key radical (1) of the kanji to the highest numbered (214), and within each radical section, according to residual stroke number.
		There are at least 15 cases in Nelson's dictionary of kanji made by a triple combination of the same radical.
		Note that in every case the kanji is divided into a lower and upper half and that the radical appears once in the upper level and twice in the lower level.

		The kanji data bases used in Kanji Gold came from the Japanese word processor JWP written by Stephen Chung.

	A Discussion of Kanji Dictionaries
		Often, these works limit their attention to jukugo, words composed of combinations of kanji, for the most part giving light or no treatment to the kun'yomi meanings of a character.
		This makes these works ``glossaries'', not ``dictionaries'', but few make the distinction (heck, I call my server a ``dictionary server'' but it uses edict, which is certainly a glossary).

	Amazon.ca: Books: The Learner's Kanji Dictionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		For example the kanji for "before" ('O) is classified by the "ri" (è) in Japanese kanji dictionaries, but in the Spahn book, it's classified under the two little "tens" at the top.
		All in all, it is a pretty solid dictionary and I intend to keep using it until the binding falls off again.
		(For example, if the kanji is in second place in a combination, "se" might become "ze", but the index seems to only give pronunciations for the kanji when in first position.) My one serious criticism is that there are not enough entrees, but that is probably one reason this is a "Beginner's" dictionary.

		To put both dictionaries on a card you need at least a 24meg card (16 being to small, 24 being the next larger size) The only problem with that solution is, JWPCE has a bug currently that doesn't allow it to read the CompactFlash card on a Japanese CE machine.
		I would really like to see a super dictionary that had not only definitions with examples but also cross-references to synonyms, antonyms, often mistaken words, etc. I'd be willing to write or help write some software to make it easier to contribute to such a dictionary.
		Only maybe 3 or 4 have kanji input and all of them are meant for Japanese speaking people so definitions are in Japanese not English and generally (not sure about all of them), pronounciation is a separete lookup from definition.

		This book has been reprinted several times and is indispensable for Westerners who wish to read old kanji used in personal/religious names, geographic/place names, titles of royalty and officials, and names of temples and shrines.
		The English transliteration in this work is somewhat old-fashioned because it was originally published in 1923, but that does not detract from its value.
		The name dictionary by P.G. O'Neill (1971) is not as useful as the above publication for deciphering postcard captions because it lacks place names.
