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:

Draw it in the drawing area
Type the name in the text area
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.

Draw a component in the center of the area, as large as you can

Don't worry about stroke order or number of strokes
Don't draw more than one component at a time

する is the most common verb in Japanese. It has many meanings, of which the most common is 'to do'.

にする

~ + にする literally means 'to do ~' in the sense of choosing A over B, or of choosing to do something.

やっぱりこれにします。
After all, I'll go for this one.

をする

~ + をする means 'to do ~', and is a general construction that can be used with almost any activity. Some nouns, known as 'の nouns', do not require the を, although typically it would not be wrong to include it. For example,

べんきょう

(study) can be used either way:

を

べんきょう

した。
Yumi studied English last night.

は

ゆうしょくご

の

べんきょう

をした。
She studied Japanese after dinner.

がする

~ + がする is less common, and indicates 'a feeling of ~'. It is often used as part of the set phrase 〜のような

き

がする meaning 'I have a feeling that ~', but it can be used more generally.

い

がする。
I think something bad is about to happen.
