Hello all, Id like to preface this by saying that I’m really bad with technology.

Regardless, my error comes when inputting hanzi onto cards. Whether I toggle the hanzi icon on or off, no matter what I input, hanzi does not come up. Am I missing something I need to install? Or is there another button I need to press?

Im on the latest version of anki and on windows 10. Just installed today.

Thanks

There is no hanzi icon. Are you using an addon (if yes, which one)?

Your first stop for help with an add-on should be the add-on’s own page. There you’ll see instructions and/or links to documentation, and the best ways to reach the developer, including the “Contact Author” button.
