Say, if you are asked to tell Kanji meaning in Japanese, how would you explain? Where do you use to look up Kanji meaning in Japanese (or in Chinese)?
Or, if the Kanji meaning is beyond simple, a few words; but a picture?
In particular, I have a problem with this one, 尭. There is also a problem with compound words, which only 尭尭 is listed, and there is no such entry in 大辞泉.
In Jisho, it says “High”. In Kotobank, it says “中国古代の伝説上の聖天子の名。” My understanding – Emperor Yao.
I like Weblio myself, since it takes entries from various online dictionaries and usually has good example sentences and phrases as well. But there too, it seems this kanji is only really used in names.
My go-to resource is jitenon. If I need any additional checks, I look up on Kanjipedia, Weblio and Goo (Tip: use で一致する on the search box, otherwise you’ll have a hard time searching for kanji entries on Goo).
Yep! I really like the beautiful and cleaner design on Kanjipedia. But lately I’ve been using Jitenon much more, as I like to check the “cursive-like” version of each kanji.
The more I look at Kanjipedia, the less I feel like using Jisho or Tangorin as a Kanji reference.
I urge anyone to use Jitenon or Kanjipedia, rather than just Jisho/Tangorin/WaniKani/RTK keywords… (Even though, you might still go by WaniKani / RTK / School grade / some other orders.)
