/jp/ - Otaku Culture

What does the dot between ya and ku mean?
(Yes I have to learn Japanese keyboard, I've been super busy.)

Also is there a faster way to get kanji and etymology from jisho? The way I'm doing it now is

Draw the kanji
Find it in the list
Hit search
Click details on a word
Scroll down to "kanji in this word"
Click kanji
Read info
Highlight kanji in list below
Open in new tab
Couch
Click Wiktionary entry
Scroll to etymology
Click radicals if I don't know them.

There's got to be a faster way.
