So, as the title states, does anybody have a suggestion where I can look these things up? I mean, just today I came across 汉 and 恶 and they are unlisted in Rikaichan, Denshi Jisho and WWWJDIC.
I assumed that perhaps it's something purely Chinese, but one of them is in the context of 罪恶少女 ("Criminal Girls", a PSP game).
I can't check if they are on there right now, because I am unfortunately stuck in the hell known as Internet Explorer at the moment, but this is a good site for kanji:
恶: variant of 悪: evil, vicious coarse, ugly, to hate, to harm, to disobey,...you get the picture. 汉: Han, as in the ethnic group, dynasty; (honorable) man.
yup - the main site is www.wiktionary.org and you can use the Japanese version for kanji lookup (I *think* you can actually use the Enlgish site as well, but I don't think it'll give you Japanese readings)
