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.

117<!ELEMENT freq (#PCDATA)>
118 <!--
119 A frequency-of-use ranking. 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

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

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. The current values are:
248 pinyin - the modern PinYin romanization of the Chinese reading
249 of the kanji. The tones are represented by a concluding
250 digit. [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".
