Common questions
- How do I find a kanji from English?
- Type an English word like water or mountain. Exact meaning matches come first, then kanji whose meanings contain the word, with easier JLPT levels first.
- Can I search by reading?
- Yes. Type the reading in romaji (yama) or kana (やま). On'yomi and kun'yomi both match, and okurigana are ignored.
- How do I find a kanji when I only know its shape?
- Count its strokes and pick the stroke count filter, then narrow by JLPT level. Our kanji radicals guide also explains how to spot the parts that kanji are built from.
