Make Me a Hanzi is a free, open-source dataset of dictionary and graphical data for over 9000 common simplified and traditional Chinese characters, including stroke-order vector graphics and animated SVGs. It also includes a demo tool for looking up characters by drawing them.

Use cases

• get stroke order data for Chinese characters
• build a Chinese handwriting recognition app
• add animated stroke-order SVGs to a language learning site
• look up a Chinese character by drawing it
• get pinyin and definitions for Chinese characters
• build a Chinese dictionary app for learners

When to choose

• you need free, permissively-licensed Chinese character stroke and dictionary data
• you are building a Chinese learning or handwriting app
• you need vector graphics or animations for character writing practice

When to avoid

• you need full dictionary coverage of rare or archaic characters
• you need a ready-made end-user application rather than raw data
• you need OCR of printed text rather than stroke-order data
