imron Posted February 17, 2015 at 08:49 AM Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 08:49 AM I just came across this site which has nice colourful breakdowns of characters and components and thought people might find it interesting:Character Pop 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobo-Daishi Posted February 17, 2015 at 11:20 AM Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 11:20 AM I'd imagine Hofmann's talking about the inevitable discussion about the Heisig type method of coming up with short stories about the character components as a mnemonic for remembering how the character is written. Whether it's right or wrong to make up your own story, etc. Kobo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrPetersen Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:19 PM Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:19 PM Are there any mistakes at first glance? (btw - the site is used in the "hanzi stats" plugin in anki.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:27 PM Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:27 PM I'm not a huge fan of stories, but I do think it's useful to be able to break down a character in to its component parts, and the site seems to do a reasonable job of that from what I've seen.

Shelley Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:32 PM Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:32 PM Are there any mistakes at first glance? Not so much a mistake as an omission, there is no image for the top of 有 here. http://characterpop.com/explode/%E6%9C%89 Not sure if it is me not able to show it or its just not there. I can see all the rest I have looked at so i don't see why it would be different. I like the hanzicraft link, much more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:44 PM Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:44 PM Interesting, it is also not displayed correctly on the hanzicraft link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:44 PM Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:44 PM It's there.

HerrPetersen Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:45 PM Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:45 PM The creator of hanzicraft is responsible for a ?java-script? framework for decomposing characters: https://github.com/nieldlr/hanzi . I guess that character pop uses the same library. I also seem to remember that there were a lot of mistaked in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:46 PM Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:46 PM @Shelley, What do you mean? It shows just fine for me. Also, it's also not an image, but a character - this one in particular. If you visit that page and under 'your browser' it is blank or a square box, then the problem is you don't have a font with that character installed.

Shelley Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:49 PM Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:49 PM It shows correctly on that page. In "my browser" shows the correct character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:55 PM Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 at 12:55 PM "the flesh in my left hand created a blood clot that looked like a moon" How does this mean 'have'. Some people shouldn't be allowed to be creative... Show 'em how it's done roddy. I notice Jamie and his magic spoon have not been mentioned yet.
