Hanzi Sheets
Hanzi Practice Sheets for Any Characters
Whether you call them Chinese characters or hanzi (汉字), the practice is the same: see the model, trace the shape, then write it from memory.
Loaded with five meta-words about writing itself. Paste any hanzi you like.

The anatomy of a hanzi practice sheet
Every row of the sheet answers three questions about a character: what does it mean (English gloss), how is it pronounced (pinyin or zhuyin label), and how is it built (the stroke-order strip — a row of mini diagrams showing the character one stroke at a time, newest stroke in red). Then come the cells: one dark model, several light-gray tracing copies, and blank grids for unaided attempts. The stroke order page explains why the sequence matters; the grid guide explains the 田 / 米 / 井 options.
Coverage you can check
The generator resolves 11,518 common words with pinyin and meanings. This release has 6,373 simplified and 3,805 traditional stroke files using PRC convention. Unavailable diagrams are omitted. Regular Kai fonts have separate coverage limits: a licensed stroke outline is used when available, otherwise the tracing cell says “no glyph”. Check unfamiliar words and the exact coverage and sources before teaching.
Close the loop with the mistake book
Practice only counts if the weak characters come back. In the on-screen preview, tap any character row to add it to the mistake book; at the end of the week, one click turns the collected mistakes into a review sheet (tracing plus quiz). It is the difference between writing characters and actually learning them — and it is why practice sheets work better as a radical-family routine than as random copying.
FAQ
What does “hanzi” mean?
汉字 (hànzì) is the Chinese name for Chinese characters — the logographic writing system shared (with script variants) across Mandarin and other Chinese languages. Each character carries a meaning and a sound.

Yes. Paste words or full paragraphs; the text is segmented into whole words, and pinyin plus English meanings resolve automatically for 11,000+ common words.
