Where can I find a list of Chinese letters?

Question

I am looking to write few names in Chinese lettering, can anyone help me find a website where there is a list of chinese letters?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Like the person above me said, there is no such thing as a complete list. But if you go to www.zhongwen.com and click the 'search' link at the top, you can look for specific characters with the meanings that you want. (english/chinese or pinyin/chinese.)

Hope that was helpful!

P.S. names? Chinese doesn't have an alphabet, so if the names that you're writing aren't Chinese already, then you'll have to make them up. =O Chinese names usually have 1 character for the last name and 2 for the first name.

Answer 2

Do you realize there are over 8000 characters in Chinese language, and about 3000 of them are used daily? You really don't want a list....
