Made myself a kana chart

​

This is a chart of hiragana and katakana arranged in a nice table according to their pronunciation together with the kanji they were created based on. This chart can be fitted into an A4 page so that you can print it out and carry it with you.

There are already many well-made ones on the market but I couldn’t find any version that contains all the information above in a single page. As a native Cantonese speaker, I find relating to the source kanji is the best mnemonics when learning them. Since I’m myself a power user of computers (a software engineer, more precisely), I decided to make my own. I’m sharing it here hoping that someone else might find it useful too.

For those who are curious, I wrote a simple template of HTML and a small Rust program that combines it with a CSV of kana data.

I left out all the variants with a diacritical mark because I don’t really think it would be necessary.

The chart is in high resolution PDF format. I have no idea where to publish it so I have put it on [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FeH9mNJ8J6ABnG3Z0vHRWNkMeQKQE0Jz) for now. Feel free to download it for personal use!

**Update**: Added the 2 pairs of deprecated kana as requested multiple times.
