| <!-- Version 1.3 |
| This is the DTD of the XML-format kanji file combining information from |
| the KANJIDIC and KANJD212 files. It is intended to be largely self- |
| documenting, with each field being accompanied by an explanatory |
| comment. |
| |
| The file covers the following kanji: |
| (a) the 6,355 kanji from JIS X 0208; |
| (b) the 5,801 kanji from JIS X 0212; |
| (c) the 3,625 kanji from JIS X 0213 as follows: |
| (i) the 2,741 kanji which are also in JIS X 0212 have |
| JIS X 0213 code-points (kuten) added to the existing entry; |
| (ii) the 884 "new" kanji have new entries. |
| |
| At the end of the explanation for a number of fields there is a tag |
| with the format [N]. This indicates the leading letter(s) of the |
| equivalent field in the KANJIDIC and KANJD212 files. |
| |
| The KANJIDIC documentation should also be read for additional |
| information about the information in the file. |

| ranking; those characters that lack this field are not ranked. The |
| frequency is a number from 1 to 2,500 that expresses the relative |
| frequency of occurrence of a character in modern Japanese. This is |
| based on a survey in newspapers, so it is biassed towards kanji |
| used in newspaper articles. The discrimination between the less |
| frequently used kanji is not strong. |
