You can even download a complete (i.e. japanese - complete) Kanji dic from
monash.edu.au with more info about kanjis you even need to know (even with
chinese pronounciation).
The 1. sign looks really convicing to "winter" (cursive), but the second
more to "Big" (if only the horizontal stroke would be there!), so you got
winter as combined kanji (Hanzi).
A second thought: what if the VMS characters where stroke information, i.e.
you apply the appropiate strokes from left to right resulting in a chinese
character (maybe a dumb thought).
Cheers
Claus

	Have you seen Nelson's Japanese Character dictionary?
	It has the Kanji (and combinations) sorted by stroke counts and by
families.
