About the Book

Chinese character lookup can be a pain, especially when you can't figure out the radical, the stroke count or don't know it's pronounciation. The Traditional Chinese Character Dictionary with Cangjie Index makes character lookup easier with its Cangjie Input Code indexing.

Based on a freely available input system, characters are sorted by cangjie codes and further sub sorted by the character elements. Characters with similiar initial elements are grouped together and organized by their cangjie codes so that it is easy to find the desired character with simple shape recognition.

The Traditional Chinese Character Dictionary with Cangjie Index includes character definitions in English for over 5000 characters along with multi-character "word" definitions. Also included are mandarin pronounciation in pinyin, cangjie input codes (including letters and symbols), radical and stroke count.

As well as a cangjie lookup index, the dictionary also includes an alphabetically sorted pinyin index.

Hi, I'm Neil Keleher

I enjoy figuring things out. One of the things I like figuring out the most is finding the simple (or simpler) way to do things. I also like trying to make learning enjoyable. For myself, that meant working on a Chinese dictionary project for about 20 years just so it would be easier for me to create material to make it more enjoyable for myself to learn Chinese.
