I've started working with Heisig's Remember the Hanzi and I've started to make some flashcards in openoffice.org for my iPhone. I've just started with Chinese characters, and when entering 直 and 置 (nos. 72 and 73) I'm presented with different forms than I see in the book. Are these differences in font/script, or do I have a tradition/simplified problem with my text entry? (I have it set up on Windows pinyin entry simplified)
Thanks! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think it's the font. It used to drive me crazy with Japanese too. If I'm not mistaken, the one with a straight line, 直, is the simplified variant, and the characters are not separately coded when they're not sufficiently different. Different fonts are made specifically for traditional, simplified, and Japanese shinjitai, though, so you could look into that if you really need it. You should probably not make yourself dependent on getting the correct ones, though, since you'll need to recognize the variants as well.
Since you're studying hanzi, this will most likely not be an issue for you, but learners of kanji should be wary of the extended middle line that will frequently occur in digital representations of 角. In Japanese, it's written without the "third leg" in the middle. No sexual implications intended, honestly. Also, in 天, the top stroke should be the longer one in Japanese. Good luck with Heisig! I used his method for kanji, and I must say it's very effective! I recommend Anki for flashcards, by the way – I'm in the process of polishing mine right now. I realized it was indeed a good idea to put the stories on the "question" side of the cards, and not just assume that I'd remember it. Also, you could check out kanji.koohii.com for inspiration, even though that site is for kanji (there is a hanzi version coming up some time in the future). 2 persons have voted this message useful |
