Can I look up a Chinese character in the Clavis dictionary even if I don know how it is pronounced?
Yes. The built-in Chinese-English dictionary can be searched by both radical number and the number and/or sequence of strokes. If you recognize the radical for the character, you can simply look up that radical and find the character in the list of characters using that radical. If you don’t know the radical, you can search by the number of strokes in the character and the direction of the first two or three strokes. Please see the program documentation for more information.
