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

なんて

is used to emphasize the item なんて follows.

For example:

きです。
It's kanji that I like.

In the sentence above, the なんて emphasizes the fact that it is kanji that the speaker likes (as opposed to something else). The sentence

かんじ

漢字

が

す

好

きです would more directly express a liking for kanji.

が

こるかなんてだれもわからない。
You never know what will happen tomorrow.

もう３マイルなんて

けない。
Another three miles is more than I can walk.

しゅうしょく

だいきぎょう

でなくてはいけないなんて

い

えだ。
The idea that you should only apply to large companies is outdated.

Used in this way, なんて is a shortened form of なんという, which is composed of なん (what) and という (is called). However, なんて may also be encountered as a colloquial form of なんと, in which case it does not provide any special emphasis.

ったの？
What did the doctor say?
