  • Doubt about 衆 stroke order
    1 project | /r/LearningJapanese | 14 May 2023
    I am learning the most used kanjis and comparing some textbooks I have and the internet and I have found that depending on where I look I get a different stroke order. The kanji is question is 衆 and the orders I doubt about this two options, I guess it is the option that starts in the middle after "blood" but I can't find which is the actual writing order. Do you know how it is currently written and if there is any website or book where they explain these modifications? It is not the first kanji I have doubts about and I would like to have some material reference for these cases.

    I'm not sure why there are stroke order numbers on the alphabet/numerals. Looking at the history of the files,

    https://github.com/KanjiVG/kanjivg/commits/master/kanji/0004...

    they weren't there originally, then there is a commit where they were added which says "Recover stroke numbers from SVG directory". But in the same commit the stroke orders for kana were also added, so it might have been just a side effect of something useful.

    Another thing I don't really understand is why all the ASCII characters were copied into the "wide ascii" positions:

    https://github.com/KanjiVG/kanjivg/commits/master/kanji/0ff2...

    The commit summary actually says "The ascii characters copied to the full width character positions." which I think was completely pointless. KanjiVG doesn't have the entire JIS character set, since that includes Greek and Russian letters, and various graphical symbols, as well as half-width katakana (narrow katakana), so there wasn't any clear reason to stuff these duplicates into there.

    I might bring these two issues up on the mailing list at some point.

  • Is there a correct way of storing svg files in either firestore or realtime database ?
    1 project | /r/Firebase | 20 Jan 2023
    I would like to store all the KanjiVG from this repository(https://github.com/KanjiVG/kanjivg/releases) and pair those with my already existing kanji database entries, so I could then display them together in my app.
