Feature request: kanji support

[TowelSniffer]

Is it possible that this will ever include Japanese characters?

It should be doable - there's a Japanese dataset using the same format in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parsimonhi/animCJK/master/graphicsJa.txt, just need to process it and get it into a CDN

I put a repo up with Japanese data from animCJK here: https://github.com/chanind/hanzi-writer-data-jp. You can use this in Hanzi Writer via a custom charDataLoader function, like below:

HanziWriter.create('target-div', '私', {
  width: 400,
  height: 400,
  charDataLoader: (char, onLoad, onError) => {
    fetch(`https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hanzi-writer-data-jp@0/${char}.json`)
      .then(res => res.json())
      .then(onLoad)
      .catch(onError);
  }
})

This Japanese data is limited compared to the Chinese currently due to:

• The data does not support radicals yet
• The data does not have capped strokes, so there are sharp edges where strokes intersect

I'll work on tidying this up before making an official release in HanziWriter adding first-class support for this data. I also want to double-check with animCJK that using the data this way is alright.

This is also discussed in chanind/hanzi-writer-data#2

is there any update on this? I'd like to use it for the Anki cards for Japanese. For now we use the Hanzi, but every now and then the character is different.
