About
Know one character. Light up its whole family.
Hanzi Constellation is a visual map of traditional Chinese. Most characters carry a sound component — a phonetic. 青 (qīng) quietly predicts the sound of 清、晴、請、情… Learn one phonetic and the readings of its whole family follow. The map draws those families as constellations: 3,000 characters, 12,000 words, and every link between them.
THE FIRST STAR CHART IS FREE
The 188 most useful characters — 59.4% of everyday text — plus every component and the phonetic family heads they point to. Free forever. No account, no time limit, no ads.
ONE PURCHASE, THE WHOLE MAP
A single purchase unlocks all 3,000 characters, all 16 star charts — 99.7% of everyday text — and all 12,000 words. No subscription, and you are never repriced: every update to the base map, including the Taiwan Mandarin AI voice coming in a free update, is included.
TAIWAN-FIRST, HONESTLY SOURCED
• Taiwan-standard readings, pinyin and 注音 side by side
• Official TBCL bands on 2,654 characters
• Every phonetic link states its confidence, computed from the data — we tell you when a link is weak
• Frequencies measured on Taiwan film and television subtitles, the closest public match to everyday Mandarin
WHAT IT IS — AND ISN'T
• A map, not a drill. Mark what you know; export any chart to Anki in one tap.
• No account. Progress lives on your device, and the whole map works offline.
• The speaker button uses your device's Taiwan Mandarin system voice today; a studio AI voice arrives in a free update — always labeled as AI, never passed off as a native speaker.
• An explorer, not a dictionary — every card links straight into Pleco.
• No streaks, no daily goals, no guilt. The sky just fills.
A family-friendly filter, on by default, hides the dictionary's crude entries. Traditional characters are the canonical form; simplified is on the roadmap.
The app collects nothing: no analytics, no tracking, no account. Purchases are processed by Apple. The website sells its own license separately; it does not unlock the app.
