汉字是中华文明的重要标志和载体，汉字传承与传播是中华文化发扬光大的两轮和双翼。对汉字的研究继以往的传世文献、字书和出土文献外，新时代的汉字研究视域已步入跨文化领域，跨文化汉字研究成为汉字研究的新趋势，即用跨文化的方法来研究汉字以及对跨文化环境中的汉字进行研究。当前跨文化汉字研究在汉字传播历史、域外汉籍和汉字材料的整理、跨文化汉字比较等方面已经取得了不少成绩。汉字在跨文化环境中产生的域外汉籍和汉字材料展示出了汉字在不同文化因素影响下的鲜明特色。作为中华民族和世界人民的共同符号，在中国实施中华优秀传统文化传承发展工程建设和汉字文化圈各国之间的“文化互鉴”中，汉字必将展示出更大的魅力和沟通力，跨文化汉字研究前途广阔。
