I would like to find out as many Chinese pronunciations of Japanese-created kanji as possible. Where can I find this information? E.g. 働 = dong.

  1. have you tried copying and pasting the words from the Wiki article into Pleco? If you understand Mandarin already, then an alternative would be to recognize the sound component in the kanji. Example: 働. (In case you’re not fluent in Mandarin and in traditional characters, there is a meaning component plus a sound component.)

  2. Japanese created kanjis has no chinese pronociations unless they have been backported. You should find that in any kanji cjk database. like https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%83%8D
    then you need to find the backported kanjis from jp to chinese. i am pretty sure wikipedia got the info.

  3. Google Translate? Type in a Kanji, hit translate into Chinese, BAM! I did it just now.
