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,...

You might want to implement the strategy used by James McCawley, in his Guide to Chinese Characters for Eating in Chinese Restaurants (or some such title--my copy of the book is at home), published by UChicago Press.
