The Chinese-Japanese dictionary contains 10,100 single Chinese character entries, with a total of 78,000 entries. Neologisms and technical terms are widely included, and the content is also sufficient for use in business. Furthermore, keywords are highlighted in red, and their usage is explained concisely so that even novice learners can easily understand them.

The JapanKnowledge edition maintains the same structure as the printed version. It also exploits the features of the Web by linking reference items in the main text so that they can be displayed with just a single click.
The user can search not only by entering Chinese characters or pinyin, but also by entering alphabetic letters without tone marks (e.g. chénggōng 【成功】→ chenggong) and alphabetic letters with numbers as tone marks (e.g. cheng2gong1). The JapanKnowledge edition of the dictionary makes it easy to search even if you do not know the tone of the word.
