If you know the characters you are looking for in their Japanese (Kanji)
form, you might find the new _Kanji Learners Dictionary_ useful. This is
edited by Jack Halpern and published by, I think, Kodayashi. It has several
methods of looking up characters by stroke count, radical, etc., and has
the great benefit of providing the Unicode codepoint for each entry.
