Search for compounds (jukugo)

For a kanji compound search, you may consider any one of these methods:

1. Start with a search for any single kanji contained in the compound you are researching, and then click the   Jukugo  button. KanjiQuick will display all jukugo containing this kanji found in its database.

2. Copy two or more kanji from the unknown compound into the  jukugo display box , or input them via  IME. KanjiQuick will display all jukugo containing this kanji string.

3. If you know the reading, choose the Jukugo or the Kanji & Jukugo option above the  Reading input box . In the  English input box , enter a one-word meaning if you know it, and then click the   Search  button. KanjiQuick will automatically perform searches using multiple criteria. Pattern matching * and ? characters are permitted.

If more than one match is found, all matches will be displayed in the  Jukugo List . The default display order is by position of the kanji used for the search.

Click an entry from the  Jukugo List  to select it and KanjiQuick will display all information from its database. (In the example shown, an  Item List  is presented, since both single kanji and jukugo are listed together as the results of the initial search criteria. Item, Kanji and Jukugo Lists all function in basically the same manner.)

In the example below, KanjiQuick has listed 75 items with the faded kanji on the left in the  Kanji display box . The jukugo on the right in the  Jukugo display box  is number 63 on that list.
