<h1>SKIP - The System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns </h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>The System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns (SKIP) system for ordering kanji was developed by Jack Halpern and used as the main index for kanji in the New Japanese-English Character Dictionary (Kenkyusha/NTC, 1990) and The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (Kodansha, 1999) and other dictionaries published by Kanji Dictionary Publishing Society.</p>
<p>The SKIP codes for the kanji not in the NJECD were compiled by Jack Halpern and Martin Duerst (the remaining kanji in JIS X 0208) and Jim Breen (the 5,801 kanji in JIS X 0212).</p>
<p>An overview of the SKIP system is available at this page.</p>
