New Members chixkee Posted February 4, 2018 at 12:40 AM New Members Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 at 12:40 AM Hello, I am very new to learning Chinese and I do not know the meaning or pronunciation or this character. If someone could help me by giving me the pinyin and the English translation for this character I would be very grateful. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

889 Posted February 4, 2018 at 05:39 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 at 05:39 PM If you're familiar with stroke order, you can bring up the character on Pleco by writing it out on your phone's screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungouk Posted February 5, 2018 at 12:55 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 at 12:55 PM Pleco doesn't insist on stroke order, or at least I just tried it with a couple of variants and still found the character. If you can access google translate on the web, that also allows hand-written input for characters (pen icon), and you can be as random as you like with that so long as it looks like the character.

imron Posted February 5, 2018 at 02:12 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 at 02:12 PM Pleco also has an OCR module, so you don't even need to write it by hand. Just point the camera at the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
