SAX.comment( Version 1.3
This is the DTD of the XML-format kanji file combining information from
the KANJIDIC and KANJD212 files. It is intended to be largely self-
documenting, with each field being accompanied by an explanatory
comment.
The file covers the following kanji:
(a) the 6,355 kanji from JIS X 0208;
(b) the 5,801 kanji from JIS X 0212;
(c) the 3,625 kanji from JIS X 0213 as follows:
(i) the 2,741 kanji which are also in JIS X 0212 have
JIS X 0213 code-points (kuten) added to the existing entry;
(ii) the 884 "new" kanji have new entries.
At the end of the explanation for a number of fields there is a tag
with the format [N]. This indicates the leading letter(s) of the
equivalent field in the KANJIDIC and KANJD212 files.
The KANJIDIC documentation should also be read for additional
information about the information in the file.

SAX.elementDecl(freq, 3, ...)
SAX.comment(
A frequency-of-use ranking. The 2,500 most-used characters have a
ranking; those characters that lack this field are not ranked. The
frequency is a number from 1 to 2,500 that expresses the relative
frequency of occurrence of a character in modern Japanese. This is
based on a survey in newspapers, so it is biassed towards kanji
used in newspaper articles. The discrimination between the less
frequently used kanji is not strong.

code. The format is n-nn-nn. See the KANJIDIC documentation
for a description of the code and restrictions on the
commercial use of this data. [P]

1996) by Spahn and Hadamitzky. They are in the form nxnn.n,
e.g. 3k11.2, where the kanji has 3 strokes in the
identifying radical, it is radical "k" in the SH
classification system, there are 11 other strokes, and it is
the 2nd kanji in the 3k11 sequence. (I am very grateful to
Mark Spahn for providing the list of these descriptor codes
for the kanji in this file.) [I]

invented by Wang Chen in 1928. See the KANJIDIC documentation
for an overview of the Four Corner System. [Q]

published in his book "2001 Kanji" (Bojinsha). Fr De Roo

to one of the code types. (See the "Z" codes in the KANJIDIC
documentation for more details.)

kanji. The readings are in the (Republic of Korea) Ministry
of Education style of romanization. [W]
korean_h - the Korean reading(s) of the kanji in hangul.

second attribute r_status, if present, will indicate with
a value of "jy" whether the reading is approved for a
"Jouyou kanji".
ja_kun - the "kun" Japanese reading of the kanji, in hiragana.
Where relevant the okurigana is also included separated by a
".". Readings associated with prefixes and suffixes are
marked with a "-". A second attribute r_status, if present,
