KOREAN HANJA · DRAW · RECOGNIZE

Draw an unknown Korean Hanja instead of guessing its reading

Korean searches such as 한자 필기인식 and 한자 써서 찾기 begin with a visible shape rather than pronunciation. No Hangul reading or radical is required.

Live candidate updates

Matches refresh after each completed stroke, and you can undo a mistaken line without starting over.

Reranked for Korean usage

Hanja with Korean readings and current personal-name status appear ahead of unsupported character matches.

Pen strokes stay in the browser

Drawing coordinates are not uploaded to JianFan.app; the recognition component runs on the current device.

How to find Korean Hanja by handwriting

Draw one character in the centre of the grid, one stroke at a time.
Choose the closest Hanja from the automatically updated matches.
Check its Korean reading, then open the dictionary or name-use lookup.

FAQ

Must I use the correct stroke order?

The matcher considers stroke direction, position and count. Clear writing in the usual order works best, although small differences can still produce matches.

Can it read a photo or a handwritten Korean sentence?

No. It recognizes one Hanja drawn on the pad and is not photo OCR or continuous handwriting recognition.

Are my pen strokes uploaded?

No. Matching runs in the browser; only fixed public recognition files are loaded remotely.
