The New Nelson Japanese-English Character Dictionary perpetuates the coveted status of the Original as the foremost Japanese-English character dictionary available. Keeping pace with the evolution of Japanese, over 1,200 characters and modernized definitions have been added to over 70,000 entries. Using the same basic indexes as the Original Nelson, the New Nelson has added a significant advance: the Universal Radical Index. With over 32,000 entries, the URI enables users to search for main-entry characters from any of their component radicals, facilitating use and making radical priorities obsolete. Its cross-references now include the Japan Industrial Standard code number for each main-entry character, as well as the main-entry character's reference number in Morohashi's Dai Kanwa Jiten.
