The method, learning each character through its parts and a story that ties them to its meaning, is inspired by James W. Heisig and Timothy W. Richardson’s Remembering the Simplified Hanzi. Hanzi 666 is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by the authors or their publisher. Its stories are its own.

Character stroke data comes from Hanzi Writer by David Chanin, used under the MIT License.

That data derives from Make Me a Hanzi by Shreyas Kishore, whose graphics data comes from fonts by Arphic Technology, a Taiwanese font foundry that released their work for free use.

How each character breaks into parts, and which strokes draw each part, is derived from Make Me a Hanzi’s dictionary data, itself derived from the Unihan Database and cjklib.
