I've decided to read manga in japanese again, I left it for a couple of years
so now I'm out of practice and in need of help. It must be a really simple one
but still I want to understand without feeling ashamed for ask.

question
kanji readings word-requests reading-comprehension
I can't identify this kanji ( kanji 当ても)
The kanji is 額{ひたい} (forehead), and the word is
[額当て](https://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E9%A1%8D%E5%BD%93%E3%81%A6), read ひたいあて. It's a
forehead protector made of a metal plate worn on a cloth band.

You should be able to find it in your dictionary under the 頁 radical, or with
a multi-radical search feature like Janusz mentions above in his comment. If I
had to look it up, I would most likely use handwriting lookup. However you
want to do it, you'll most likely need to look up lots of characters in the
future, so you should familiarize yourself with kanji dictionaries and get
used to looking them up quickly.
