Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm trying to build some automated
tools for processing Chinese text. I'd like to know the relative
frequencies of different characters and character combinations.
Are there any web sites with this data that I can download?

down vote accepted  Chih-Hao Tsai has published a bunch of
useful resources like this. I've used the character frequency
and phrase frequency lists.  share|improve this answer add
comment  Jun Da has published character frequency, bigram and
phoneme frequency lists here.  I used the character and bigram
frequency lists for my final degree project, creating an
application to allow for input of handwritten Chinese using
neural networks combined with other techniques. Very helpful
they were too :)  If you are interested, bigrams are groups of
two characters. For example,一个 has a high frequency of occurence
in Jun Da's data, as often follows . Along with the character
frequencies, I loaded the bigram data
