What's new
Changes to Chunom.org.

Better Chữ Nôm suggestions while you type
- You no longer have to type the marks. Type nuoc and 渃 nước appears at once; nam shows nam, năm, nằm, nấm … together.
- d also finds đ: duong shows dương and đường.
- Every mark you type narrows the list: nươc keeps only nước, nắm only nắm. The tone can be written anywhere in the word: hoà and hòa give the same suggestions.
- Order: words written exactly as you typed come first, then shorter before longer, then characters you choose often or that have a meaning, then alphabetical.
- Works wherever you type Chữ Nôm.
12 November 2026
Stroke order animations for almost every character
- More than 95% of all characters now have an animated stroke order. Open a character and the big character shows how it is written, stroke by stroke.
8 November 2026
PA is back, better than ever
- PA (phonetic annotation) is back on the website. It had been announced that it would be removed, but many users asked for it, so it is here again.
- It is better than ever: the font now supports stacked characters.
- Available wherever you can type Chữ Nôm.
3 November 2026
New fonts with complete Chữ Nôm coverage
- For the first time, modern typefaces cover Chữ Nôm completely: QATT Pen, Migoi, Celluloid and Phong Thảo.
- QATT Pen was designed especially for Chunom.org, but everyone may use it.
- Look at the fonts and download them in the font catalogue. You can use them on your own website too, served from our font CDN.

The Bookshelf: titles worth reading, with modern Vietnamese
- The Bookshelf is now a selection of titles worth reading, each with a translation into modern Vietnamese.
- On the old site it was only a collection of texts.
15 October 2026
AI translation from Quốc Ngữ to Chữ Nôm
- A new AI translator replaces the earlier machine translation based on Moses. The results are much more accurate.
- You can adjust the result yourself: choose another character for a word or type your own.
