Anywhere else to check semantic-phonetic composition?

It seems like the extensions are sufficiently out of date enough now that they simply do not work on chrome. Do you guys have any places to easily check this semantic-phonetic composition info on kanji and which ones share sounds as a result?

The thread about the original version of the script you’re referring to says that it’s based on “Phonetic components in Japanese characters” by Hiroko Townsend. Further googling suggests that a lot of that work was adapted into a book called The Kanji Code (which, coincidentally enough, was reviewed by Tofugu back in March 2019). The book’s website also includes this list of phonetic components.

I have compiled my own list based mostly on the Wiktionary entries:

It contains all WaniKani kanji and more. I use it for this Anki deck: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/610839770
