Where the data and the type come from

Kezi stands on open datasets. The mnemonics, Vietnamese content, example sentences, reading pieces and confusable notes are our own work; everything below is not, and is used under the licence named.

CC-CEDICT

Word entries and traditional-form mappings derive from CC-CEDICT, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=cedict

Unicode Unihan database

Hán-Việt readings derive from the kVietnamese field of the Unicode Unihan database, used under the Unicode License. They were checked against the source by hand and 15 high-frequency readings were corrected. unicode.org

Make Me a Hanzi / Hanzi Writer

Stroke-order and decomposition data come from Make Me a Hanzi, which derives from the Arphic PL fonts and carries the Arphic Public Licence; the animation format follows Hanzi Writer. github.com/skishore/makemeahanzi

Character frequency
