It is intended to be largely self- 7 documenting, with each field being accompanied by an explanatory 8 comment. 9 10 The file covers the following kanji: 11 (a) the 6,355 kanji from JIS X 0208; 12 (b) the 5,801 kanji from JIS X 0212; 13 (c) the 3,625 kanji from JIS X 0213 as follows: 14 (i) the 2,741 kanji which are also in JIS X 0212 have 15 JIS X 0213 code-points (kuten) added to the existing entry; 16 (ii) the 884 "new" kanji have new entries. 17 18 At the end of the explanation for a number of fields there is a tag 19 with the format [N]. This indicates the leading letter(s) of the 20 equivalent field in the KANJIDIC and KANJD212 files. 21 22 The KANJIDIC documentation should also be read for additional 23 information about the information in the file. 24 ) 25 SAX.elementDecl(kanjidic2, 4, ...) 26 SAX.elementDecl(header, 4, ...) 27 SAX.comment( 28 The single header element will contain identification information 29 about the version of the file 30 ) 31 SAX.elementDecl(file_version, 3, ...) 32 SAX.comment( 33 This field denotes the version of kanjidic2 structure, as more 34 than one version may exist. 35 ) 36 SAX.elementDecl(database_version, 3, ...) 37 SAX.comment( 38 The version of the file, in the format YYYY-NN, where NN will be 39 a number starting with 01 for the first version released in a 40 calendar year, then increasing for each version in that year. 41 ) 42 SAX.elementDecl(date_of_creation, 3, ...) 43 SAX.comment( 44 The date the file was created in international format (YYYY-MM-DD). 45 ) 46 SAX.elementDecl(character, 4, ...) 47 SAX.elementDecl(literal, 3, ...) 48 SAX.comment( 49 The character itself in UTF8 coding. 50 ) 51 SAX.elementDecl(codepoint, 4, ...) 52 SAX.comment( 53 The codepoint element states the code of the character in the various 54 character set standards. 55 ) 56 SAX.elementDecl(cp_value, 3, ...) 57 SAX.comment( 58 The cp_value contains the codepoint of the character in a particular 59 standard.
