ArXi:2605.08814v1 Announce Type: new Chinese character categories are extremely large, and unseen characters frequently arise in open-world scenarios, making zero-shot Chinese character recognition an important yet challenging problem. Existing IDS-based retrieval methods usually encode a character image and its ideographic description sequence into a single global vector for matching. Although efficient, such holistic alignment often under-models local component differences. Moreover, directly
