Updating YuJisho: a Unicode CJK Character web dictionary

My online CJK dictionary YuJisho got a facelift again – this time, from ASP.Net MVC3 to the current MVC 5, and from Bootstrap 2 to Bootstrap 4.

I hope this gets rid of the messages in the Google Search Console 😉 :

  •  Text too small to read
  • Clickable elements too close together
  • Viewport not set

There is a little change though: In times of GDPR &co, queries to Wikipedias and Wiktionaries need to invoked by clicking the “Query Wikipedia” button, rather than querying automatically.

click the button

click the button “Query Wikipedia”

results in links to various Wikipedias containing an article

If your browser / operating system fails to display certain Chinese characters, there is now a button “Load Glyphs” which tries to load the unsupported characters’ images as .svg from GlyphWiki.
