A dictionary of Chinese dialect characters 方言字?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of an existence of a dictionary of Chinese dialect characters 方言字?

An online or downloadable for Windows or Palm OS (free)* would be ideal.

Otherwise, is there a Chinese Hanzi Dictionary 字典 downloadable for free for Palm OS?

Preferably one with at least 7000+ separate character entries.

(Hey, I love the Character dictionaries 字典 with at least 10,000+ separate character entries, but I know that one for Palm OS or even Windows may be non existent, or is there such thing? let alone one being even free...)

谢谢您

Existing regional tags in the Adso database include SHANGHAI, BEIJING and TAIWAN. I think we may have one or two tagged as SICHUAN as well. Anyone is welcome to add regional terms: just tag the entry with the capitalized placename as well as its regular pos:

The dictionary is freely available, and there are a variety of applications that use it on different platforms. I'm not sure about palm programs although Mike Love has converted a much older version to Pleco format.

Note -- this isn't a character database so much as a full dictionary, but we can add any missing characters and create region-specific definitions for existing ones as desired.
