IDS data

This is a collection of various IDS (Ideographic Description Sequence) data.

Description

IDS (Ideographic Description Sequence) is a way to describe the structure of CJK Unified ideographs.

The IDS consists of IDCs (Ideographic Description Characters), namely "⿰" (U+2FF0) to "⿻" (U+2FFB), and DCs (Description Characters), that are usually ideographs.

IDS is quite important information for ideographs, as it may be possible to identify ideographs from them.

However, there may be ambiguity for encoding IDS. Therefore, tools to normalize IDS and identify the ideographs would be important. IDS tool is one of such example.

Also, IDS sequences use full range of CJK ideographs, so the fonts that covers all encoded ideographs (such as HanaMin or Hanamin AFDKO ) should be used.
