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.

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

BOOST

って is a simple and casual substitute for the common expression という, which is used to quote speech within sentences.

それって、どう

う？
How do you feel about it?

その

しょうひん

って

が

うべきだと

う？
Do you think I should do as the shop assistant says and buy that product?

あの

の

って

できない。
I can't trust that old person's stories.

に

ってってくれって

んだの。
She asked me to bring them.

Since this is a colloquial form, it often serves to replace というの or というのは as well:

エミリーってだれ？
Who's Emily?

のたつのって

いものですね。
Time goes by very quickly, doesn't it?

In casual speech って can also be used to end a sentence (which is uncommon with という).

するなって。
Don't overdo it.
