So, how do you look up a word written in kanji you don't know of?

>> No.1066445

by character

>> No.1066448

Don't worry, you won't even have to deal with that character.

You look at what radicals make up the kanji, and find them in a kanji dictionary, which is sorted by radical.

However today there are stylus-driven electronic kanji dictionaries. You write the kanji on the sensor pad, and it uses character recognition to identify it and look it up in its database.

Works fine for me. Just make sure you get the stroke order and count right.
Oh, and if you can't work that, then look up by radical.

Sort of how you can't look a word up unless you know how to spell it (or have a hunch as to how to), isn't it?

If you really get stuck, then you can grind it out. See that piece of shit on the bottom there? You can look it up by that, as well as counting the number of strokes.

After a while this type of thing only takes 10-20 seconds at the most. It's all memorization, after all.

There are electronic dicionaries which let you draw the kanji on them and they'll recognize it. They are quite accurate if you know the stroke order.
Either that, or download Kanji sono mama for the DS
