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

っぱなし

is used to describe something left in a state of being on or used. For example:

water running	( みず水を) だ出しっぱなし
electricity / light on	( でんき電気 / でんとう電灯を) つ点けっぱなし
windows open	( まど窓を) あ開けっぱなし
cord connected	( でんげん電源コードを) つな繋ぎっぱなし

ぎっぱなしにして

しゅうしん

する

は

いと

いますが、

%を

じょうたい

じゅうでん

けると、バッテリーの

を

させてしまいます。
I know that there are many people who leave the cord plugged in and go to sleep, but if you continue to charge the phone when it's over 100%, this will cause steady deterioration of the battery.

This form of the verb functions as an adjective, so the most typical usage is:

[object] を [〜っぱなし] にする (to leave something in a ~ state of being)

This form typically operates on a transitive form of a verb. So for example compare:

まど
窓
が
ひら
開
いている (the window is open)
まど
窓
を
あ
開
けっぱなしにした (I left the window open)
