JAPANESE DICTIONARIES FOR GoldenDict
Radicals & Variants

Radicals & Variants is a dictionary of radicals, and as the name implies, will display all the relevant kanji by any of its radicals or any of its variants. If you're looking up a kanji, it'll break it up into its radicals.

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.
