Search the Unihan Database

 

 

This page can be used to search the Unihan database against a limited set of properties.

Use the drop-down menu to select a property to search, enter a search string in the text field, then click the “Lookup” button. You will be presented with a page listing all ideographs in the Unihan database with matching data in the selected property. Searching is case-insensitive, and may optionally match only whole words by selecting the “Whole words” checkbox. Details regarding properties can be found in UAX #38.

For example, to find all ideographs whose definition contain the word “well,” enter “well” into the text field, select the “Definition” item in the drop-down menu, then click the “Lookup” button; to find all ideographs whose Mandarin reading is “jǐng,” enter “jǐng” into the text field, select the “Mandarin” item in the drop-down menu, then click on “Lookup” button.

Note that this is a preliminary version of a Unihan database searching facility. More features and properties may be added in the future.
