HSK Tables were taken from http://www.chinese-forums.com/vocabulary/
Character frequency tables were taken from http://hmarty.free.fr/hanzi/
Traditional character version by Hugh Chen.

Description: 

You will need simplified Chinese fonts, though a unicode font is recommended because of the pinyin tone marks, which are not properly implemented in all GB fonts.

hsk-chinese.xml -- Characters and words from the HSK set
top-chinese-characters -- Most frequent 2000 Chinese characters

hsk-chinese-(traditional).xml -- The traditional character version of the HSK database

The HSK is the standardised Chinese proficiency test and the characters in the HSK tables are both needed to pass the test and considered important by the Chinese government. It is a common way to gauge progress. Learning the most frequent characters first is obviously also a good supplemental strategy.

NOTE:
Mnemosyne currently doesn't support items belonging to multiple categories. Since there is considerable overlap between the two sets, they are separated. You can import both of them into your database, but the order in which you import them determines which categories in your database will be incomplete. For example, if you load the hsk database first, then your most frequent character categories will only contain the characters which are not contained in any of the other categories.

Title

Test

traditional set won't import

Hi, thanks for putting together this set! The traditional Chinese cards have some errors, though. For example:

<A>guò lái * come over / come up&lt /br&gt /guò lái * can manage</A>

the "&lt /br&gt" looks like it's trying to create a newline but it got messed up and prevents the set from being imported. If you replace them all with "<br/>", it loads fine.

<A>guò lái * come over / come up<br/>guò lái * can manage</A>

(hint: just search and replace all "&lt /br&gt /" with "<br/>" and it'll work.)

Thanks for the comment, and

Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad that you were able to fix it. I got sidetracked for a while, but now the version 1.2 of the cards fixes this problem.

It should get uploaded soon.
