	Kanji (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Kanji are one of the five character sets used in the modern Japanese writing system, the other four being hiragana, katakana, the Roman alphabet (r&333;maji), and Arabic numerals.
		Many ateji (kanji used only for their phonetic value) have meanings derived from their usage: for example, the now-archaic &20124;&32048;&20124; ajia was formerly used to write "Asia" in kanji; the character &20124; now means Asia in such compounds as &26481;&20124; t&333;a, "East Asia".
		The ideographic iteration mark (&12293;) is used to indicate that the preceding kanji is to be repeated, functioning similarly to a ditto mark in English.

		The Kyoiku kanji are further subdivided into six grades, representing the syllabus of each of the first six years of the Japanese education system.
		The early Kyoiku kanji tend to be the most graphically simple ones, whereas the JLPT kanji appear to be ordered more in terms of how common they are.
		The Kanji SITE was designed primarily for people studying for the JLPT exam, but I'm currently working to adapt the site so that you can study according to the Joyo (and Kyoiku) syllabus instead.

	Teaching and Reference Material on Japanese
		Kanji are often called ideographs, meaning that the characters refer to an idea rather than to their pronunciation.
		Kanji dictionaries include radicals, but there are other stroke groups too, which frequently occur in kanji, although, even in Japanese, there does not seem to be any technical term for them.
		Although neither the analysis of kanji into strokes or grapheme elements, nor animated kanji showing stroke order and direction are totally new, the problem until now was that for every one of these different approaches new sets of data had to be created for every different purposes.

		(In some contexts, the term Gakushû Kanji ("Study characters") is used to refer to the list of 1,006 and the term Kyôiku kanji reserved for the list of 996 without the roman numerals.)

		I've been searching for a good kanji resource that divides the kanji by jôyô: kyôiku (1,006), kyôiku igai (939), and jinmeiyô.
		Below is a link to a nice page that divides the kyôiku and kyôiku igai alphabetically by kana and sepatates the two categories by color.
		This is fairly irrelevant, though -- when you get to the point in your studies where you need to start knowing the Jinmeiyo kanji, it's unlikely that you'll still be working through them methodically one by one.
