1 <?xml version="1.0"?> 2 <!DOCTYPE kanjidic2 [ 3 <!-- Version 1.3 4 This is the DTD of the XML-format kanji file combining information from 5 the KANJIDIC and KANJD212 files. It is intended to be largely self- 6 documenting, with each field being accompanied by an explanatory 7 comment. 8 9 The file covers the following kanji: 10 (a) the 6,355 kanji from JIS X 0208; 11 (b) the 5,801 kanji from JIS X 0212; 12 (c) the 3,625 kanji from JIS X 0213 as follows: 13 (i) the 2,741 kanji which are also in JIS X 0212 have 14 JIS X 0213 code-points (kuten) added to the existing entry; 15 (ii) the 884 "new" kanji have new entries. 16 17 At the end of the explanation for a number of fields there is a tag 18 with the format [N]. This indicates the leading letter(s) of the 19 equivalent field in the KANJIDIC and KANJD212 files. 20 21 The KANJIDIC documentation should also be read for additional 22 information about the information in the file. 23 --> 24 <!ELEMENT kanjidic2 (header,character*)> 25 <!ELEMENT header (file_version,database_version,date_of_creation)> 26 <!-- 27 The single header element will contain identification information 28 about the version of the file 29 --> 30 <!ELEMENT file_version (#PCDATA)> 31 <!-- 32 This field denotes the version of kanjidic2 structure, as more 33 than one version may exist. 34 --> 35 <!ELEMENT database_version (#PCDATA)> 36 <!-- 37 The version of the file, in the format YYYY-NN, where NN will be 38 a number starting with 01 for the first version released in a 39 calendar year, then increasing for each version in that year. 40 --> 41 <!ELEMENT date_of_creation (#PCDATA)> 42 <!-- 43 The date the file was created in international format (YYYY-MM-DD). 44 --> 45 <!ELEMENT character (literal,codepoint, radical, misc, dic_number?, query_code?, reading_meaning?,nanori?)*> 46 <!ELEMENT literal (#PCDATA)> 47 <!-- 48 The character itself in UTF8 coding. 49 --> 50 <!ELEMENT codepoint (cp_value+)> 51 <!-- 52 The codepoint element states the code of the character in the various 53 character set standards. 54 --> 55 <!ELEMENT cp_value (#PCDATA)> 56 <!-- 57 The cp_value contains the codepoint of the character in a particular 58 standard. The standard will be identified in the cp_type attribute. 59 --> 60 <!ATTLIST cp_value cp_type CDATA #REQUIRED> 61 <!-- 62 The cp_type attribute states the coding standard applying to the 63 element. The values assigned so far are: 64 jis208 - JIS X 0208-1997 - kuten coding (nn-nn) 65 jis212 - JIS X 0212-1990 - kuten coding (nn-nn) 66 jis213 - JIS X 0213-2000 - kuten coding (p-nn-nn) 67 ucs - Unicode 4.0 - hex coding (4 or 5 hexadecimal digits) 68 --> 69 <!ELEMENT radical (rad_value+)> 70 <!ELEMENT rad_value (#PCDATA)> 71 <!-- 72 The radical number, in the range 1 to 214. The particular 73 classification type is stated in the rad_type attribute. 74 --> 75 <!ATTLIST rad_value rad_type CDATA #REQUIRED> 76 <!-- 77 The rad_type attribute states the type of radical classification. 78 classical - as recorded in the KangXi Zidian. 79 nelson - as used in the Nelson "Modern Japanese-English 80 Character Dictionary" (i.e. the Classic, not the New Nelson). 81 This will only be used where Nelson reclassified the kanji. 82 --> 83 <!ELEMENT misc (grade?, stroke_count+, variant*, freq*, rad_name*)> 84 <!ELEMENT grade (#PCDATA)> 85 <!-- 86 The Jouyou Kanji grade level. 1 through 6 indicate the grade in which 87 the kanji is taught in Japanese schools. 8 indicates it is one of the 88 remaining Jouyou Kanji to be learned in junior high school, and 9 89 indicates it is a Jinmeiyou (for use in names) kanji. [G] 90 --> 91 <!ELEMENT stroke_count (#PCDATA)> 92 <!-- 93 The stroke count of the kanji, including the radical. If more than 94 one, the first is considered the accepted count, while subsequent ones 95 are common miscounts. (See Appendix E. of the KANJIDIC documentation 96 for some of the rules applied when counting strokes in some of the 97 radicals.) [S] 98 --> 99 <!ELEMENT variant (#PCDATA)> 100 <!-- 101 A cross-reference code to another kanji, usually regarded as a variant. 102 The type of cross-reference is given in the var_type attribute. 103 --> 104 <!ATTLIST variant var_type CDATA #REQUIRED> 105 <!-- 106 The var_type attribute indicates the type of variant code.

The 2,500 most-used characters have a 120 ranking; those characters that lack this field are not ranked. The 121 frequency is a number from 1 to 2,500 that expresses the relative 122 frequency of occurrence of a character in modern Japanese. This is 123 based on a survey in newspapers, so it is biassed towards kanji 124 used in newspaper articles. The discrimination between the less 125 frequently used kanji is not strong. 126 --> 127 <!ELEMENT rad_name (#PCDATA)> 128 <!-- 129 When the kanji is itself a radical and has a name, this element 130 contains the name (in hiragana.) [T2] 131 --> 132 <!ELEMENT dic_number (dic_ref+)> 133 <!-- 134 This element contains the index numbers and similar unstructured 135 information such as page numbers in a number of published dictionaries, 136 and instructional books on kanji. 137 --> 138 <!ELEMENT dic_ref (#PCDATA)> 139 <!-- 140 Each dic_ref contains an index number. The particular dictionary, 141 etc. is defined by the dr_type attribute. 142 --> 143 <!ATTLIST dic_ref dr_type CDATA #REQUIRED> 144 <!-- 145 The dr_type defines the dictionary or reference book, etc. to which 146 dic_ref element applies.

[P] 206 207 sh_desc - the descriptor codes for The Kanji Dictionary (Tuttle 208 1996) by Spahn and Hadamitzky. They are in the form nxnn.n, 209 e.g. 3k11.2, where the kanji has 3 strokes in the 210 identifying radical, it is radical "k" in the SH 211 classification system, there are 11 other strokes, and it is 212 the 2nd kanji in the 3k11 sequence. (I am very grateful to 213 Mark Spahn for providing the list of these descriptor codes 214 for the kanji in this file.) [I] 215 four_corner - the "Four Corner" code for the kanji. This is a code 216 invented by Wang Chen in 1928. See the KANJIDIC documentation 217 for an overview of the Four Corner System. [Q] 218 219 deroo - the codes developed by the late Father Joseph De Roo, and 220 published in his book "2001 Kanji" (Bojinsha). Fr De Roo 221 gave his permission for these codes to be included. [DR] 222 misclass - a possible misclassification of the kanji according 223 to one of the code types. (See the "Z" codes in the KANJIDIC 224 documentation for more details.) 225 226 --> 227 <!ELEMENT reading_meaning (rmgroup*, nanori*)> 228 <!-- 229 The readings for the kanji in several languages, and the meanings, also 230 in several languages. The readings and meanings are grouped to enable 231 the handling of the situation where the meaning is differentiated by 232 reading. [T1] 233 --> 234 <!ELEMENT nanori (#PCDATA)> 235 <!-- 236 Japanese readings that are now only associated with names. 237 --> 238 <!ELEMENT rmgroup (reading*, meaning*)> 239 <!ELEMENT reading (#PCDATA)> 240 <!-- 241 The reading element contains the reading or pronunciation 242 of the kanji. 243 --> 244 <!ATTLIST reading r_type CDATA #REQUIRED> 245 <!-- 246 The r_type attribute defines the type of reading in the reading 247 element.

[Y] 251 korean_r - the romanized form of the Korean reading(s) of the 252 kanji. The readings are in the (Republic of Korea) Ministry 253 of Education style of romanization. [W] 254 korean_h - the Korean reading(s) of the kanji in hangul. 255 ja_on - the "on" Japanese reading of the kanji, in katakana. A 256 second attribute r_status, if present, will indicate with 257 a value of "jy" whether the reading is approved for a 258 "Jouyou kanji". 259 ja_kun - the "kun" Japanese reading of the kanji, in hiragana. 260 Where relevant the okurigana is also included separated by a 261 ".". Readings associated with prefixes and suffixes are 262 marked with a "-". A second attribute r_status, if present, 263 will indicate with a value of "jy" whether the reading is 264 approved for a "Jouyou kanji". 265 --> 266 <!ATTLIST reading r_status CDATA #IMPLIED> 267 <!-- 268 See under ja_on and ja_kun above. 269 --> 270 <!ELEMENT meaning (#PCDATA)> 271 <!-- 272 The meaning associated with the kanji. 273 --> 274 <!ATTLIST meaning m_lang CDATA #IMPLIED> 275 <!-- 276 The m_lang attribute defines the target language of the meaning.
