This page is the root of set of subpages about radicals of Chinese characters. This is a method of looking up character, kind of like alphabetical order. It is currently closely tied to the conlang Dan'a'yo. However, the author User:Aquatiki is quite happy to share.

The Radical 部首(bousyu) is an essential element of the character dictionary. The list of radicals is a rough equivalent of an "alphabet". Every character is classified under a radical, the radicals being sorted by the number of strokes 筆画(bithwak) used in writing them. The number of strokes varies between 1 and 17. Characters belonging to a particular radical are in turn listed on the basis of the number of additional strokes. Note that the number of strokes is not always clear to the untrained eye.

There have been several systems of radicals in use at various times during history. The following describes the Unicode system of radicals, which is based on the traditional 214 radicals of the Kangxi dictionary.
