Wubi Input Method Code Lookup

📖 About This Tool

Anyone who types with Wubi knows the moment: you can write the character but cannot take it apart, so you do not know which key to press. Flicking through a radical chart is slow and asking someone is awkward. This tool puts the code, the decomposition and the mnemonic together, so one lookup tells you how the character splits.

Three directions. Character to code takes one or more characters and returns the 86 edition code for each, with the length and the structural decomposition, so a character like "的" shows its code and its left right structure. Code to character works the other way: type a few letters and it finds the characters that use them, and for short codes it also lists everything sharing that prefix. The radical table shows all twenty five keys with their radicals and mnemonics, which is handy while learning.

The length tells you the abbreviation level. One key is a first level abbreviation, two keys a second level one, three keys usually a third level code or the first three of the full code, and four keys the full code. Knowing the length tells you whether to add a space. The decomposition shows which components the character is built from; read it next to the radicals and the logic of splitting becomes clear.

The side panel shows how many characters and keys are covered, with ten of the commonest characters available at a click. Results can be copied or exported as CSV. Note that the code library covers common characters, and very rare ones will be reported as missing. Everything runs locally.

The categories follow how the sayings are actually used. Time, encouragement and study are the ones that turn up in essays and speeches. Getting along, friendship and unity cover how people treat one another. Thrift and health cover the conduct of daily life. Satire is the sharpest group, and a well chosen jibe lands faster than a paragraph of argument.

Bars on the side show how many entries each category holds, which tells you where the collection is thick before you start reading. Because a proverb often belongs to more than one theme, each is filed under the single heading where it is most often quoted, so searching by category may miss one that another category also claims. Variant wordings are common in oral tradition; the form given is the widely circulated one, and a regional version may differ by a character or two. Entries are stored locally and nothing is transmitted.

✨ Features

• Character to code: several at once, all with 86 edition codes.
• Reverse lookup: type letters and find the characters, short codes list prefixes.
• Radical table: all twenty five keys with radicals and mnemonics.
• Code length: shows the abbreviation level and whether a space is needed.
• Decomposition: components shown, to read alongside the radicals.
• Copy and export: results as text or as CSV.

🚀 How to Use

1. Choose character to code, code to character, or the radical table.
2. For codes, type one or several characters and press Enter.
3. For reverse lookup, type one to four letters, such as rw.
4. While learning, switch to the radical table and study the mnemonics.
5. Copy or export CSV when you want to keep it.

⚠️ Notes

• Edition: codes follow the 86 edition; the 98 edition splits some characters differently.
• Coverage: common characters are covered; rare and some traditional forms may be missing.
• Abbreviations: lengths follow the stored code; your input method dictionary has the last word.
• Reverse results: one or two letter codes list several characters, so judge for yourself.
• Nothing is saved: refreshing clears the results, so export in time.
