Whether you're looking for a site to help you master the stroke order, or if you're trying to compare characters across different languages, here are some useful sources for character explanations, radical breakdowns, actual examples, character evolutions from Warring States up until now, and many other interesting options.
This one is pretty good for character explanation, radical breakdown and examples e.g. where this character can be found, in what text etc. Only thing to note is that while you can change the interface language to English, the actual explanation is in Traditional Chinese, so something to keep in mind. https://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/
2. Good for a phonetic breakdown of a character, including Hanyu, Hakka, Yale, Wade etc. Includes different fonts for comparison, and even a calligraphy option which makes me quite happy. https://www.cns11643.gov.tw/
3. Also good for showing the character stroke order and in-depth examples from actual literary works. Includes explanations from Kangxi and 说文解字 -Shuowen Jiezi (the original Han dynasty dictionary showing the actual seal script characters), so quite useful all in all. https://www.zdic.net/

4. Baidu. Self-explanatory but honestly very useful. Just input the character and an entire page dedicated to this character will pop-up.
5. This also includes the same features as other sources e.g. character stroke order, pronounciation, radical breakdown etc, but what is particularly handy here is the option to compare the same character between Mainland, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Japanese and Korean characters: https://hanzi.unihan.com.cn/CJKCompare
6. Fantastic for showing the evolution of characters, from Warring States Period to the current font, not to mention the different pronounciations available. Highly recommend. https://zi.tools/
7. Includes the standard radical breakdown and examples, but also the pronounciation of the characters using various different dialects in Taiwan, which is quite interesting as up until now I didn't find any sources that included this. https://pedia.cloud.edu.tw/
8. This is more so for Oracle Bone and Bronze script characters, which are honestly quite fasinating. Definitely a favourite database of mine. The explanations are written in Traditional Chinese but mostly in relatively straightforward language so using a translation software is no issue. https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/
being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

not to be insensitive but some of the salem witch trials were so funny bitches like “i saw her at the devils sacrament!!!” girl... what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament 👀
“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”

The inscription on the left is the year (丙午; 2026), season (春月; spring), and OP's username (其人書者). The year is written using the 60-year cycle calendar 干支 (gan1zhi1), so it could refer to 2026, 1966, etc.
