KanjiVG is an open dataset of SVG vector graphics for Japanese kanji, encoding stroke shapes, stroke order, radicals, and component information. It includes Python utility scripts for manipulating the data and is released under CC BY-SA 3.0.
Use cases
- generate kanji stroke order diagrams
- animate kanji stroke order in a learning app
- build a Japanese kanji dictionary
- render kanji characters as scalable vector graphics
- get radical and component data for kanji
- display handwriting-style kanji in a web app
When to choose
- you need accurate stroke order and stroke direction data for Japanese kanji
- you are building kanji learning, dictionary, or handwriting-practice software
- you want SVG graphics that work in any browser or SVG viewer
When to avoid
- you need simplified or traditional Chinese characters rather than Japanese kanji
- you need printed-style (Mincho/Gothic) glyph shapes instead of handwritten kaisho style
- you need a font rather than per-character SVG data files
