Chinese dictionary
A Chinese dictionary (词典 cídiǎn) for learners. Every entry keeps its meanings under the reading
they belong to, so a word read two ways is two sets of meanings rather than one list to guess at.
Look a character up by its
部首
A character you have only ever seen in print has no reading to search

left, and read down the table. It is the oldest way into a Chinese
dictionary and still the only one that works on a character you have
never heard said aloud.
