Thanks for your answer, brannerchinese. Could you tell me how to use Wenlin ? do I have to download it or something? What font should I use to display the character  ? it does not display properly. The character  is opposite to my desired one which is with 羽 upside and 能 downside, how can I reverse the order of its two components ?

But sometimes the [zisea's 两分](http://zisea.com/zslf.htm) cannot combine 2 characters with one element upside and another element downside like [This One](http://postimg.org/image/4ni08isql/) which is a combination between 石 (upside) and 毛 (downside).

For the first one I searched `羽 能` (with a space in the middle)
