Japanese Readings

How do you guys decide which readings to include and which readings not to include?

It was a while ago, but it looks like they were from a list of common readings, or a list of all readings if the common readings list didn't have the given character. If you want the source files (what we think are the source files anyway), I can send those along to you by email.

Oh my, I missed this by a couple of days. The reason I ask is that it's not uncommon to mix Jouyou and non-Jouyou readings for kanji (I'm not really out of the Jouyou kanji yet). I was curious if I should report too many readings when it lists ten readings of a kanji with only one jouyou reading, or report too few when it lists only the jouyou readings. (Like 暫く. I don't have an example of the first one, I just remember seeing that one more than the latter).

Let's stick to just jouyou readings, so report when there are too many. Are you finding lots of cases of this?

weirdesky   December 17th, 2011 1:06a.m.

Yeah, it's not uncommon. I'll look for it more now that I know what your rules are.

weirdesky   December 17th, 2011 1:15a.m.

And keep in mind when I say not uncommon, I often learn upwards of fifty characters a day. So I see once every one or two days (when it's three or four readings over the top)

I've started reporting those that include too many readings (I think I've done five-ten, so far), and I'm curious about character decomposition corrections. Should I report characters that have something like missing component? (This one is a good example: 寒 It doesn't have the little hashtag under the house.) Or should I just report when it's wrong?

Sometimes we'll never be able to support the missing component, because it doesn't have a Unicode point assigned. But sometimes we can fix it. It's impossible to tell from your end, so it's up to you--we probably won't be able to fix many of them, but some of them will make a difference.
