Database Keys

• cd: Character code. Implies a Universal Character Set code point if beginning with 0 or 2.
• ex, isin: /[01]/. 1 iff personal name hanja.
• type: /[02AF]/. The first letter from cd.
• rad_id: The Kangxi radical number (1~214).
• stroke: Remaining stroke count excluding the radical.
• totstroke, em: Unused, hence omitted in the SQLite file.
• in: Reading(s) allowed for personal names; and associated meanings. (inm in the SQLite file)
• dic: Other dictionary data not included in in. Sometimes has the same value as in for personal name hanja, if the reading(s) in in being the only one(s).
• ineum: in, but Reading(s) only.
• image: Glyph image from the Supreme Court of Korea website. Blue is for personal (isin = 1); else, black if type = 0 and red if type having another value than 0.

In the SQLite file, there are two tables hanja_info and rad_stroke due to normalization, as there may exist more than one radical-stroke data for a hanja.
