List of Kangxi radicals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of all 214 Kangxi radicals, used originally in the 1615 Zihui and adopted by the 1716 Kangxi dictionary, in order of the number of strokes along with some examples of characters containing them. This list has become such a common standard that sometimes radicals are referred to by number alone. A reference to "radical 61", for example, without additional context, means 心.

See Chinese characters and Chinese character radicals for more information on how these radicals are used in written Chinese.

The Kangxi dictionary lists a total of 47,035 characters divided among the 214 radicals. There are seven radicals which form more than 1,000 characters each:

Radical 140 艸 "grass" (1,902)
Radical 85 水 "water" (1,595)
Radical 75 木 "tree" (1,369)
Radical 64 手 "hand" (1,203)
Radical 30 口 "mouth" (1,146)
Radical 61 心 "heart" (1,115)
Radical 142 虫 "insect" (1,067)

The lowest number of characters derived from any radical is five (Radical 138 艮).

The Kangxi radicals are encoded in the Unicode U+2F00–2FDF range. These are specific codepoints for the radicals as distinct from the characters consisting of the unaugmented radicals. Thus U+2F00 ⼀ represents the radical no. 1 while U+4E00 一 represents the character yī meaning "one". Additional radicals are found in the CJK Radicals Supplement range (2E80–2EFF).
