is there anybody knowing some computer-method to analize
a chinese character to find his place in a dictionnary ?
There are at least 2 problems/
- how to input the character ? by a graphical mean, with a
  system of question-answer to describe it,.....
-once inputed, how to analize it to find the page or set of pages
 where is translation can be found ? counting the number of strokes,
 identifying a key, using the 4 corners method,...
The problem to solve is : given an unknown characer how to determine
its rank in a dictionnary from its graphical aspect.
