Qiuyue 13 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I am about to write an essay on chinese language which will be rather analytical and contain longer sections on radicals and other components of characters. It´s just that I don´t know how to write those components with my Microsoft windows software. Do I need another program? How do other people do this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stdev 10 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Type the pinyin of the first character of its name, eg. san for 氵, jin for 钅. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roddy 5,540 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Type the pinyin of the first character of its name, eg. san for 氵, jin for 钅. Ah, clever! I'd noticed them popping up now and then but it hadn't registered that it was because I'd just typed the first bit of the name . . . 艹灬扌。。。 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qiuyue 13 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 hmm, I am not sure I understand. All components are not characters. How to write the lower part of 桥 ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it works for components that aren't radicals, so if you wanted to type just the 丿丨 as one single component then you'd probably be out of luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
889 1,793 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 As mentioned above, Wenlin will break any character into components. So for 桥 qiao it offers components: 木乔夭枖 If you want further detail, you can then look up these characters in Wenlin; looking up 乔, for example, tells you that the bottom component is 八 ba.
