What this Chinese character dictionary covers

Chinese Hanzi Dictionary is a reference and study app for Chinese characters, covering simplified and traditional forms. The listing presents it for beginners of any age, and for people who need characters for study, work or travel. It also mentions Kanji and Hanja, the Japanese and Korean names for the same kind of character.

Each character comes with the basic information the listing names: meaning, pronunciation, pinyin, zhuyin, strokes, radicals, homophones, synonyms, antonyms and vocabulary. The listing gives the character set as more than 9806 characters.

Looking up characters and their readings

The app offers several ways to search for a character. Once a character is open, it shows the pinyin, the radical and the definition. It also lists related radicals, pronunciations and vocabulary words that use the character.

Because zhuyin and homophones are included, the entries also suit readers who learn Taiwanese bopomofo or who are sorting out similar-sounding characters.

Stroke order animation and handwriting practice

A character can be played back as an animation that writes it stroke by stroke. Each individual stroke and its order are also displayed, so the sequence can be followed one step at a time.

The handwriting practice mode lets you write characters yourself. Split view is listed as supported, so the character and the practice area can sit side by side on the screen.

Saving favorites and using the dictionary offline

Characters can be saved as favorites, which gives a short list to come back to. The listing says the app works offline, so lookups and practice do not depend on a connection.

The listing states there are no ads and says the app does not collect any data.
