For detailed instructions, see the Component builder how to guide.
To find any kanji, first try to identify the components it is made up of. Once you have identified any component, search for it in any of three ways:
  1. Draw it in the drawing area
  2. Type the name in the text area
  3. Look for it in the list
Example: look up 漢
  • Notice that 漢 is made of several components: 氵 艹 口 夫
  • Draw any of these components (one at a time) in the drawing area, and select it when you see it
  • Alternatively, look for a component in the list. 氵 艹 口 each have three strokes; 夫 has four strokes
  • If you know the meanings of the components, type any of them in the text area: water (氵), grass (艹), mouth (口) or husband (夫)
  • Keep adding components until you can see your kanji in the list of matches that appears near the top.

The Kanshudo Component Builder can recognize any of the 416 components listed in the chart below the drawing area. Tips:
  • Draw a component in the center of the area, as large as you can
  • Try to draw the component as it appears in the kanji you're looking up
  • Don't worry about stroke order or number of strokes
  • Don't draw more than one component at a time

You may encounter two alternative versions of さようなら - sometimes you may hear it with a long よ sound (よう) as さようなら, and sometimes with a shortened よ sound as さよなら.
Both can be used correctly as interjections meaning 'goodbye'. さようなら is the original form (descended from
さよう
左様
ならば), and is considered more 'proper'.
In modern Japanese, the さよなら form can be used as a noun meaning 'coming to an end', which can be used as part of phrases such as さよならパーティー (farewell party), さよなら
こうえん
公演
 (farewell performance), or さよなら(を)する (say goodbye).
