How to search Unihan ?

[youpii]

Ok I know it sounds silly but I can't use that page:

http://www.unicode.org/charts/unihan.html

if I type 好 and search, it opens that page:

http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=%E5%A5%BD

which is empty

if I type 好, check the "Use UTF-8" box and search, it opens that page:

http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=%E5%A5%BD&useutf8=true

which is also empty ...

Any idea ?

Put 597d into http://www.unicode.org/charts/unihan.html and you will get 好.

To get 597d, stick your character in here to get the decimal 好. And use this to convert the decimal to HEX.

Must be a better way to do what you want to do (website or a bit of code) but hope this helps.

From the page:

Searching is currently limited to the definition field and the six phonetic fields: three varieties of Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin, and Tang), the two basic Japanese pronunciations (Japanese On, or Sino-Japanese, and Japanese Kun, or native Japanese), and Sino-Korean.

If you want to search for characters, there are several other on-line resources helping you with that:
