Chinese character lookup doesn’t have to be difficult!

With the Chinsym lookup system, Chinese character lookup is easy, even if you are a beginner.

* You don’t have to know the characters radical.
* You don’t have to count strokes.
* You don’t have to know the character's pronunciation.

That last point being said, the newest version of the Chinsym lookup system includes two phonetic indexes. It also contains an English index. And it includes a new shape based index for simplified characters.

Now you can use the chinsym system to lookup either traditional Chinese characters or simplified Chinese characters.

As an added bonus, each entry also includes the cangjie input code for both the traditional and simplified versions of each character. That means you can use this app to help you learn to touch-type Chinese characters!

Aside from that, the chinsym system has been designed to make Chinese character lookup as easy as possible, even if you are a beginner. With it, you can spend less time looking up characters so that you have more time for learning and understanding them.

It includes over 7000 character entries and over 21000 word (or phrase) entries.

Speaking of word entries, each character entry includes all words that contain that character. In addition, you can change the selected character from within any word entry so that you can see the character definition for any character within a word.

For the phonetic index, characters that share the same phonetic element are grouped together. That can make it easier for you to remember the sound or pronunciation of some characters.

When looking up characters via their English definition, you can easily switch definitions from within the entry.

The system has been designed to be easy to learn. It's also been designed to make it as easy as possible to navigate between various definitions so that you can see characters or words in different contexts to get a better sense of their meaning.

And that's why the word system is in the title of this app. It's designed to make it easy for you to see connections and use them to explore the data the app contains and understand it.
