Privacy and use

No name, account or email required. Birth details remain in page memory and are removed on clear or reload. They are not stored or added to URLs. Only language preference is saved locally. The site is funded by ads: pages load Adsterra ads in an isolated frame, and Adsterra and its partners may receive your IP and browser information and use cookies for ad delivery and measurement (privacy policy: https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/). The ad frame cannot read this page, and we never provide birth details or charts to advertisers. Pages also load an Adsterra popunder (clicking the page may open an ad tab in the background, frequency-capped per visitor) and a Social Bar (a corner overlay). These two scripts run on the page itself: we do not deliberately provide birth details or charts to advertisers, but we cannot prevent a third-party script from reading the page; use your browser's ad blocking if this concerns you. Each move to another page is a full page load. Visitors in the EEA, UK or Switzerland must agree before ads load. No analytics or external AI requests are enabled. You can refuse ads with your browser's ad or cookie blocking; the tools keep working.

About this tool

Traditional character divination includes glyph splitting, meaning association and stroke numerology. This page offers the parts that can be calculated exactly: each character's Kangxi strokes, radical, radical element, stroke-ending element, yin-yang (odd = yang, even = yin) and the 81-number luck of the total strokes.

It is useful for the numerological imagery of a shop name, nickname or motto. Glyph splitting and associative interpretation need human judgment, so this page does not pretend to automate them.

FAQ

Is this traditional glyph-splitting divination?

No. Traditional splitting needs interpretation; this page gives calculable information only: strokes, radicals and numerology.

How is the radical element decided?

Only less disputed radicals are included (氵 water, 木 and 艹 wood, 火 and 灬 fire, 金 metal, 土 earth, etc.); characters without one show no radical element.

What does yin-yang mean here?

Odd Kangxi stroke counts are yang and even counts are yin — a simple classification used in name numerology.

How many characters can I enter?

Up to six; each is shown and the total strokes are calculated.
