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

Other forms:

い adjective + と思います

新しいと思います。I think it's new.

な adjective + だ + と思いす

有名だと思います。 I think it's famous.

noun + だ + と思います

ここだと思います。I think it's here.

An interesting distinction between English 'I don't think...' and expressing the same sentiment in Japanese is that in Japanese usually the verb, adjective or noun before と思います/と思う takes the negative form, and と思います/と思う remains affirmative. This is not to say 思いません or 思わない are never used, but they are used far less commonly.

う。
