Description: The dictionary offers
searchable lists of variants, arranged by their standard forms. To get to a
character one looks it up using the radical or stoke-count lists. In the left
part of the screen each standard form has a main entry with explanations. To the
right the available variants are displayed (images). Clicking on one of them
displays the variant's entry as it appears in different references. Many of
these references have been scanned and will be displayed in the right-hand side
of the screen. To get access to materials not publicly available one has to fill
in an application form. To view all special characters in the explanations one
has to install additional fonts. These are available in the FAQ section of the
page.
Contents: (1) System; (2) Editions;
(3) Search for character forms; (4) Additional indexes; (5) Terms used.
Note: Installation of
additional fonts necessary.
