Ampersand Hash Codes
These codes were first drawn to my attention by a poster (Charles Steiman) on sci.lang.japan.
The entries below are [symbol][VWXYZ][comment]. For each [symol] use the ampersand sign (&) together with the hash sign (#) then the five digit number [VWXYZ] and finish it off with the semicolon (;), e.g. for Japanese hiragana "we", ゑ which gives ゑ.
Please note that these are the symbols that I see on my Internet Explorer 4.x browser. I cannot see anything using Netscape 3.x, so browsers more up-to-date should be able to display them, if it has unicode capabilities.
Entries are as follows,
- 12288 - 12319 symobls
- 12321 - 12329 Chinese shorthand numerals
- 12353 - 12435 Japanese hiragana symbols
- 12443 - 12446 more symbols
- 12449 - 12534 Japanese katakana symbols
- 12439 - 12541 more symbols
- 12549 - 12585 Chinese ZhuYin FuHao symbols

I've coloured the Zhuyin Fuhao symbols and codes because I believe it reveals an order within the system. The initials are ordered according to areas of articulation, the vowels follows the following pattern: four vowels, four vowel combinations, four n or ng endings, an "er" and three medials. Note however, that there are other sounds which are created by combinations of the vowels and other endings which aren't represented here.
I have to note that I can also see many other symbols such as Greek, Cyrillic, and ordinary alphanumerics in other parts of this code. For instance ζ gives ζ greek lower case zeta.
Towards the larger numerals, there occurs Chinese Japanese and Korean characters.
