All Hanzi Components
All Hanzi Components will decompose each hanzi into its smallest components, but instead of just breaking it down into its radicals it'll give you every single component, from the most complex down to the most simple. You can search hanzi not only by radicals, but also using a variety of parts.
This is a dictionary based on Chinese hanzi. If you want to get serious about the study of kanji, you should always keep a hanzi dictionary at hand in addition to your kanji ones to familiarize yourself with both and learn about their visual differences and shared radicals. Although hanzi are part of an entirely different system, they're colored here to help you easily visualize their Japanese counterparts. This dictionary contains all the relevant Japanese phonetics for each hanzi. Although this is a Chinese dictionary, every Japanese kokuji has been also included.
Why are there so many hanzi and kanji decomposing dictionaries?!
Since no standard chart for decomposing kanji exists, each dictionary relies on its own unique algorithm to detect and identify different parts and radicals inside each character. Some dictionaries can offer valuable insight, detecting subtle patterns across the sea of characters often elusive to humans. |
