How does this help, when the OP didn't know how to get the character (or its Unicode) at all?

Well, if I were stuck, I would get the character by drawing, or use zdic.net like Mou used zisea above. Then, if I can't find the Unicode, I use Python ord('') which gives 146321. Express that as a hexadecimal  number and you have the Unicode for '' ! Amazing, the Internet + Python!

It depends on your IME. Not all IMEs allow you to input all Chinese characters. I don't think any IME would allow you to input *all* Chinese characters.

@fatpenguin That's my question. Without knowing what the ping ying of that character is, how do I know where to find it ? The OP "_look up the character through its radical (in radical 毛), but that character wasn't listed_".

See my comment above. If your IME doesn't have the character, there are several options. One is to add the character to the IME, if that's allowed. Another one is to try another IME. You can also try to look it up in an online dictory by sound or radical.

What I usually do is that,

(1) Open Google Keep (or other Apps).

(2) Take a photo of the page (or printed text).

(3) Extract the text. Many apps can extract text.

Unfortunately, Google Keep gives me everything on this page except this character 毛+昌 （on the hook).
