Hanzi Stats

This Anki add-on calculates the number of Hanzi that you have learned so far in the following categories:

• HSK (1992) aka HSK 1.0 levels
• HSK (2010) and HSK (2012) aka HSK 2.0 levels
• HSK (2021) aka HSK 3.0 bands
• 6000 most frequently used simplified characters (divided into 12 categories)
• TBCL (20220920) levels
• TOCFL (2023) levels
• 6000 most frequently used traditional characters (divided into 12 categories)

Users can configure which categories are enabled or disabled. By default in new installations we enable the HSK (2012), HSK (2021), and most frequently used characters categories and disable the TBCL, TOCFL, and oldest HSK categories. Users can also configure which URL is opened when clicking on a character as well as which field to search for characters.

History

This is an updated version of the Anki Hanzi Stats plugin by Ben Lickly that could previously be found at https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/296672579. This version includes the following modifications by Trevor L. Davis:

1. The New HSK (aka v2.0) character lists have been updated from the 2010 version to the 2012 version.
2. Added a new list of the 2021 (aka v3.0) HSK character lists
3. The 6000 most frequent simplified characters in the original plugin have been replaced by the list computed by Dr. Sharoff.
4. Add a new list of 6000 most frequent traditional characters.
5. By default only looks for characters in the "sort field" instead of all fields. Which field(s) to look for Hanzi can be configured in the Anki 2.1.x version (Thanks Kyle Waranis for patch).
6. By default clicking character links now sends you to hanzicraft.com instead of dict.cn. Which URL to look up characters can be configured in the Anki 2.1.x version.
7. Got rid of the HSK A, HSK B, HSK E, and HSK I categories.
8. Fixed some typos.
9. In the Anki 2.1.x version allows users to configure which categories to show.
10. Update the code so it still works when there are non-reversible-compatible changes made to Anki (Thanks Andreas Rücklé for patch).
11. Added new categories for the Taiwanese TOCFL (2023) and TBCL (20220920) wordlists (Thanks Kat Tipton for patch).
12. Restore HSK (1992) and HSK (2010) levels as optional categories

This plugin was originally written by Ben Lickly based on Japanese Stats by Damien Elmes. This modified version also includes a contribution by Kyle Waranis as well as a couple modified code snippets from the Chinese Support plugin by Roland Sieker and Thomas Tempé (which was also based on a plugin by Damien Elmes).
