Chinese radical dictionary

The Chinese script is the only logographic writing system still in Daily use in the world today. Unlike the alphabetic systems used by most languages, Chinese script is made up of Characters, the majority of which are “pictophonetic”. Most consist of one component indicating the sound of the character, the phonetic, combined with one semantic component, the signal or radical,    though in some cases the original semantic connection has become obscure, owing to changes in character meaning over time.
