Description: iCED Chinese Dictionary presents a unique way to use a Chinese dictionary. After you've found the entry you were searching for, iCED will continue to search for compound or component entries to complement your search. Component entry dissection allows you to quickly understand the meaning of components in longer words or phrases. For example, if you look up "u4e2d"u534e"u4eba"u6c11"u5171"u548c"u56fd, iCED will also look up "u4e2d"u534e and "u4eba"u6c11"u5171"u548c"u56fd. You can then select the latter to break it up into "u4eba"u6c11 and "u5171"u548c"u56fd. When you get to single characters, iCED will look up compound entries starting with that character.
