Please check out my dictionary "Chinese Character Genealogy" at
"http://zhongwen.com".  It has the usual dictionary features plus it uses
translations of traditional etymologies and "genealogical charts" based
on them to show how Chinese characters can all be traced back to a couple
hundred simple pictographs and ideographs (the "wen" of "Shuowen Jiezi").
The goal is to help students learn Chinese by showing the close and often
quite logical relationships between characters.

Let me know what you think!
