I have found a kanji in a manga I am attempting to read, that looks like this:

![Unknown kanji](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JJtRE.png)

I have tried to find it in numerous dictionaries, and used multiple different
methods. I know the third section is a radical, but the first isn't, and
searching the third on it's own at WWWJDIC returns many results, but none of
them are this one. Skip code has also been unfruitful. Handwriting has been
challenging, because I'm not 100% certain on the order.

A friend suggested that it may be a kanji that is out of use, but used because
the manga author thinks it's cool. I doubt it's slang, though, due to the
context of being a formal statement.

The context is: 我輩はノイ＝クレザント(?)騎士である where the (?) is the character. It was
written vertically.

I have stated the question as "How do I look up this kanji?" because I suspect
I may get into this situation again.

Edit: The answer I have marked as correct actually contains the answer in the
comments, so I've written it up here. It is actually a Google Chrome character
font problem. The character did really appear in the dictionaries, but I
couldn't recognise it because it was displayed incorrectly (Chinese instead of
Japanese). Chrome doesn't check all the fonts on your computer like IE or FF,
so I changed the standard fonts and it worked.

How do I look up this kanji?
It looks like a cross between

![Kanji1](https://i.stack.imgur.com/xKpYw.png)

<http://jisho.org/kanji/details/%E5%96%9E> (喞)

and

<http://jisho.org/kanji/details/%E5%8D%BF> (卿)

I love the jisho.org kanji by radical lookup:

This character is pronounced 'kyoo' or 'kee'. It is the name of a highly-
ranked title: [卿](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8D%BF)

Actually, you have correctly identified that the third section is a radical.
Very Good. In this case, it is called ふしづくり. The character is actually listed
under this radical: look
[here](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8D%A9%E9%83%A8). So, don't give up.
Try just a little bit harder.

Since you do not seem to have the necessary font installed on your system, I
am adding a graphic capture of the character from the wikipedia page that I
linked:

![kyoo](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Wg9nm.png)

By the way, this notification on the up right portion of the wikipedia page:

![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/pXbK2.png)

is telling that the character may not be showing up correctly if you do not
have the particular setting. So, whenever you see it, you might want to
suspect if you are actually seeing the right thing.

卿 - きみ Meaning: you, lord, secretary, state minister Not exactly sure if this
is the right kanji, but I'm linking a software that I find is really good for
looking up kanji: [zkanji](http://zkanji.sourceforge.net/). I'm just not sure
whether you're asking for help looking up kanji in general, or just this one.

I think the most difficult part of looking up a Kanji is that you can't find
any way typing it, and here a solution if you're using computer.

Most of Chinese and Japanese input method in Windows has handwriting input
function, you can type a Kanji this way.

For example : [Microsoft IME Japanese
Input](https://www.coscom.co.jp/learnjapanese801/msime_win7_en1.html)

![Step1](https://i.stack.imgur.com/y8khr.png)

![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/QVRCg.png)

Then you can just click on the Kanji as a input for search.
