what is this kanji?
 
I cannot find this kanji on any dictionary I have. I suppose it means happy or glad...
女喜しい
(ATTENTION. Since I don't know how to read it I couldn't use IME. I know those are 2 kanji, but the one I need is formed by those 2).

嬉(うれ)しい

Also, for future reference, if you go to Jim Breen's WWWJDIC, there is a kanji-input method called the multi-radical input method. You can select parts of a kanji and search for all kanji containing those parts.

The same thing exists at jisho.org.
I haven't tried the other one, but alternatives are always nice, eh? :p

Someone who used to post here (but I haven't seen him in a while) has actually designed a website where you can use your mouse to write a kanji and it will recognize it and give you the text version. Handwritten kanji search at sljfaq.org

Thanks, Ben Bullock!

Microsoft IME can do it too...but the "recognizing" part doesn't really work that well LOL.

The IME Pad, if you have that on your PC, works just as good.

This is true. I just don't run Windows. :)

If you have an iPhone/iPod, get Kotoba, kanji dictionary.
It's really useful tool !!!
Features indexation on radicals, shows all kanji grades in lists, gives full words and example sentences.

Online kanji dictionaries give me trouble, but when i go check them up in my iPod, i suddenly do find them :D
