EDICT SAMPLES

EDICT's format is that of the original file used by MOKE. It uses EUC (Extended Unix Code) coding for the kanji and kana (hiragana & katakana) Japanese characters. It is a text file with one entry per line. The format of entries is:

KANJI [KANA] /english_1/english_2/.../

For example:
