Kanji data displayed in KanjiQuick

KanjiQuick will display various data for most kanji:

Stroke count and radical number are displayed above their respective  input boxes , located just below the menu bar of the  KanjiQuick  program window. If the kanji is included in any special groupings, they will be displayed to the left of the  kanji display box . See: Kanji groups, Variant kanji shapes

The various readings are displayed in the lower-left  Japanese display box , with their associated meanings in the lower-right  Meanings display box .

Readings originally from Chinese (on-yomi) are displayed using katakana, (1) in the example; original Japanese readings (kun-yomi) are displayed in hiragana, (2) in the example, and nanori name and place readings are denoted with "(N)."
