The application discloses a Chinese character sorting, searching and dictionary constructing method and device, and relates to the technical field of computers. A specific embodiment of the method comprises the following steps: obtaining a first character of a Chinese character as a first character according to a
stroke order, and encoding the first character to obtain a first character code, wherein the first character comprises a first character component which can be independently formed into a character and cannot be split, and a first main
stroke component of the Chinese character which does not comprise any character component; obtaining the number of strokes included in each Chinese character, and obtaining a
stroke string corresponding to each Chinese character according to a preset stroke
character coding rule; sorting the
Chinese characters by taking the first character code as a first sorting field, the number of strokes as a second sorting field, and the stroke string as a third sorting field, wherein the first sorting field has the highest priority, and the third sorting field has the lowest priority. The embodiment can solve the problems of sorting and searching difficulties caused by the definition and position of the component.
