Chinese Console Popup Dictionary: In-Depth Chinese Character Exploration

The tool also colorizes characters based on frequency either in the language or on the specific page, providing learners with key insights into the importance or challenge of a character. Users have the flexibility to customize the console according to their preferences, with options to colorize themes, navigate a history of searched words, and show only the information they need.
