Another solution, cooler: please try the excellent website of brother Ahong, in Malaysia: You can do exactly what you said you need: paste a character and it will give you immediately the CJ code plus pinyin and zhuyin. http://www.chinesecj.com/. MORE: you can aslo input in Cangjie code (both 3rd and 5th version), zhuyin, and even pinyin. (You choose your input on the box top-left corner). If you are excited by it, drop a line to Ahong: mailto:khon@tm.net.my. He will be happy.


Also, worth downloading (free) and exploring is a whole Chinese-Chinese dictionary made by Chu Bangfu. It is arranged alphabetically by Cangjie codes. For each character, the meaning of each CJ unit is explained. Here is the link to the introductory page http://www.cbflabs.com/book/dic/dic.htm ; and here the link for the download: http://www.cbflabs.com/book/dic/dic.zip . I started a translation of the dictionary: it is a very big work. Also, it will be good if someone could find a way to search it electronically.

Is there a site where I can paste a character and search for its ChangJie code?


I'm just starting out using ChangJie, and I'm excited about it b/c I really am able to deduce new codes from old ones instead of memorizing. However, I usually look up a few codes here and there to get me started. (Awaiting your reply regarding the book, Eddy). For example, once I learned what DI created, I guess AGDI, HHDI, etc.


I need to find things like the code for JIA1 (home, family) so i can deduce other words with "pig" inside them.


Thanks! DK


P.S. Of course, I downloaded the zip of traditional codes from this site, but that is searchable only by the codes themselves.
