The Chart of Traditional Radicals

This chart gives the number of each traditional radical, its independent form, its English name, and the location in the text of its independent form (the first reference number) and any alternate or combining forms treated separately (the second reference number). Numbers in roman type refer to radicals included in the first character group of 1,067 basic characters. Page numbers in italic type refer to radicals in the second character group (pp. 215–273); a means “left column,” b means “right column” on the pages. A dash (–) means that the radical is not represented as a separate item in this edition. A chart of “modern radicals,” based on the 漢英詞典, appears as the front endpapers.
