In practicing the present invention, in analyzing a Chinese character, a 3x3 square grid of 9 boxes is superimposed over the character. The character is analyzed based upon the shape of the stroke that is at the lowest elevation within the lower right-hand corner. A Table is consulted consisting of a plurality of elements including horizontal strokes, and the element most closely resembling the corresponding portion of the character is chosen. The user then consults a Root Table where characters all having in common the same part of the character immediately on top are displayed. From examination of the Root Table, the user narrows down the identity of the character to a smaller group. The pages to which the user is directed are carefully reviewed and the entire character may be found in a Form Block including pertinent information concerning the character. When the entire character is found, reference is made to a page in a dictionary where the same character may be found along with its definition and examples of proper use.
