ipsi() Posted July 25, 2006 at 08:03 AM Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 at 08:03 AM Is it possible to write the various parts of characters, like the 'left-ear' radical found on the left hand side of 院, or the 'Study' top found in 学. I know a number can be written as separate characters, but I'm looking to make an index of where the stroke order for various characters can be found in my textbook, and for that I really need be able to type these on a computer. Does anyone know if this is possible? 谢谢你们 -ipsi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
self-taught-mba Posted July 25, 2006 at 03:49 PM Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 at 03:49 PM I know Wenlin Chinese Learning Software can do radicals. Try out their demo. (not sure if demo can though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinesetools Posted July 25, 2006 at 05:54 PM Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 at 05:54 PM Try DimSum Chinese Tools. The dictionary will show the individual components of a character which you can then cut and paste. The program is free and will run on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

imron Posted July 25, 2006 at 09:40 PM Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 at 09:40 PM If you use wubi to type, you can type most radicals without any problem e.g. 阝 氵 宀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipsi() Posted July 26, 2006 at 07:32 AM Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 at 07:32 AM ChineseTools: True. But I consider that something of a last resort, as I've no real desire to cut and paste any more than I have to. Self-taught-mba: Interesting. I'll have a look. Again, though, not looking for copy/paste of radicals. imron: That's more what I'm looking for. But as far as I know, Windows doesn't have Wubi installed by default. It does, however, have ZhengMa, which I think is similar? I'll have a look and see if I can figure out how to use it. Could be painful on a non-chinse keyboard...

imron Posted July 27, 2006 at 12:08 AM Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 at 12:08 AM Nope, Wubi doesn't come installed by default with windows, but if you have Office, it's possibly on the Office CD tucked away in one of the custom install options (at least it is on the Chinese version of Office). Also, if you do a search on these forums, there are several posts about installing/learning Wubi that should point you in the right direction.

ipsi() Posted July 27, 2006 at 11:06 AM Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 at 11:06 AM Ah! After several hours of hunting around, I did manage to get a copy. Thanks! Now to find the time to learn it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
