HAK-DLE : Romanised Hakka Wordle
This is a Hakka romanised word game clone version of Josh Wardle's very popular Wordle Game. My thanks goes to Josh Wardle for creating this game, and also Samuel Lo for his JNDLE for Cangjie input version that inspired this, Dr. Chunfat Lau for raising the idea of making a Hakka version.

Hugh M. Stimson's T'ang Sound System Reconstruction and Unicode kTang data field
After buying Stimson's Fifty Five T'ang Poems book, I've finally been able to use it to help me complete a project I began in 2005 with the extraction of the kTang data field from Unicode. The kTang data comes from another book by Stimson called T'ang Poetic Vocabulary, but it was possible from the short note on the reconstruction to recreate how that system fits in with Middle Chinese data and notes I've made on my other webpages. A full listing of the kTang data is included.

Unicode Extension B Charts
This set of webpages lists all the characters in Extension B of Unicode 4.x. You need the (sursong.ttf =) SimSum (Founder Extended) font, or equivalent to display most of the characters that can be viewed. There are gaps in the display, as many Vietnamese chunom characters aren't available in this font. I created these pages as a tool for copying & pasting characters which I cannot input any other way.

Chinese Japanese Korean Vietnamese Characters
Chinese characters have been used in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. We shall discuss some of them here, and includes characters created outside China in the so called sino-xenic locales.

The only female Chinese emperor, the Empress Wu created some characters, and proscribed the use of these over other more recognisable ones. These characters are listed in various sources, and some appear in the Kangxi Dictionary.

Notoriously Badly Translated Menus!

Well, my sides nearly split when my sisters and I first clapped eyes on these, so, I decided to give something more accurate as a translation instead.
