Chinese Characters Dictionary Web



Most of the major Chinese character dictionaries on the web are interlinked at a character-to-character level, allowing visitors to quickly jump across dictionaries to check the same character entry without having to search again for the character. Find a character in any of the above dictionaries and you can follow the blue links, jumping between more than a dozen dictionaries spread across seven countries and four continents. (I once gave a brief talk on this phenomenon.)

Enter a character in the left frame to go directly to any of the major dictionaries via the red links, including the WWW CJK-English Dictionary (Japanese code), the Buddhist Dictionary (Japanese code), the Cantonese Pronunciation Dictionary, the CEDICT Chinese English Dictionary Project, the Hakka Pronouncing Dictionary, the Taiwanese Dictionary, Guoyu Cidian, the WWW JDIC (Japanese code), Chinese Character Dictionary, the Tower of Babel etymology database, the Unicode Unihan database, and my own Chinese Characters: a Genealogy and Dictionary. Also see OK88 English-Chinese Dictionary, Pristine Lexicon, Sunrain, TigerNT, Chindex, and Field Guide to Chinese Characters.
