Many Chinese, Japanese, and Korean dictionaries of Chinese <answer>characters</answer> list <answer>characters</answer> in radical order: <answer>characters</answer> are grouped together by radical, and radicals containing fewer strokes come before radicals containing more strokes (radical-and-stroke sorting). Under each radical, <answer>characters</answer> are listed by their total number of strokes. It is often also possible to search for <answer>characters</answer> by sound, using pinyin (in Chinese dictionaries), zhuyin (in Taiwanese dictionaries), kana (in Japanese dictionaries) or hangul (in Korean dictionaries).
