Hanzi Radical Keyboard Downloads & RevenueHanzi Radical Keyboard · App Store

When you cannot read a Chinese character, a Pinyin keyboard often stops being useful.

Chinese Character Radicals turns radical lookup into a system keyboard, so you can find Hanzi by shape and type them in any app.

Choose the visible radical in the keyboard, narrow the results by remaining strokes and traditional variants, then insert the character directly into the current text field.

The main app provides a radical index, character details, stroke information, copy actions, and a keyboard setup guide, making lookup and input smoother.

Download Chinese Character Radicals and bring radical-based lookup and Hanzi input into everyday typing.

Chinese Character Radicals is built for moments when you do not know the pronunciation, cannot use Pinyin, or only remember how a character looks. Whether you are chatting, writing, taking notes, or learning Chinese characters, you can start from the radical, narrow the range like using a dictionary, and find the Hanzi you need.

Key features:

• System keyboard input
After setup, use it in any app that supports text input and switch to the Chinese Character Radicals keyboard with the globe key.

• Radical lookup
Find Chinese characters from common radicals without knowing the pronunciation first.

• Remaining-stroke filtering
Narrow candidates by the number of strokes after the radical and reach the target character faster.

• Traditional variant support
View and input traditional-related forms, useful when working with simplified, traditional, or variant Chinese characters.

• Character details
See the radical, stroke count, pronunciation, meaning, Unicode information, and available stroke order data, helping you recognize Chinese characters and learn how they are written.

• Copy and insert
Copy characters in the main app, or insert them directly into the current text field from the keyboard.

• No Full Access required
Chinese Character Radicals does not request “Full Access” and focuses on local character lookup and input.

Useful when you need to:

• Identify a Chinese character you can see but cannot read
• Learn Chinese character structure while studying
• Understand radicals, stroke counts, and stroke order
• Type uncommon Hanzi in chats, notes, or documents
• Work with traditional or variant character forms
• Use a Chinese input tool based on visible character shape

Chinese Character Radicals is not a replacement for Pinyin input. It fills the step that Pinyin keyboards handle poorly: when you do not know how a character is read, you can still begin from the visible shape, find it, understand it, and type it.
