[Open Source] Hanzi IDS Explorer: Recursive structure & Reverse lookup

Hi everyone,

I’ve open-sourced a plugin to help visualize the logical structure of Hanzi/Kanji.

While Glyphs handles the visual outlines perfectly, I needed a way to see the “Logical Tree” of a character. This tool parses IDS (Ideographic Description Sequence) data to do two things:

  1. Tree Visualization: Decomposes a character into a nested hierarchy.
  2. Reverse Lookup: Finds all characters that share a specific component (e.g., querying lists all related characters).
