  1. Is there any program/extension/website that can automatically go through text and add (it’s best guess at the correct) furigana?.

    i.e., large blocks at once, and not a sentence at a time.

  2. Do the different parts of characters have names? I notice that sometimes that different words will share the same symbol among their characters like the little t shape in both な and た. There’s also the leftmost symbol in the kanji for 行く and 待つ. So, do they have their own little names and stuff or is it purely a visual similarity?
