 This field allows free text comments for signs. The most important use for this is to document uncommon signs, giving bibliographical references about them, and in general helping the user to select the best possible sign. If you want your sign description to be included in the distributed version of JSesh, they should have bibliographical references to back up their claim. Please also note that JSesh is a free software, but that it must respect copyright. So, this is not the place for blind copying of the sign lists of the usual grammars (it doesn'​t mean of course that you can't use them as sources). You can write descriptions in multiple languages, although it would be better if there were an english version for each sign. This field allows free text comments for signs.

 This window allows to describe the sign in terms of various short descriptive words called "​tags"​. Those are available in the palette to select sub-categories of a given family. For instance, "​standing"​ characters (obviously, the tags used here do not apply to A44). The left window displays all available tags, listing first those which are already used for this family, and then the other tags. The best way to tag signs is to look at similar signs, and see how it's done. This window allows to describe the sign in terms of various short descriptive words called "​tags"​.
