Revision as of 09:15, 23 April 2013

I search up kanji on Wiktionary via radicals - and, somewhat annoyingly, some radicals just look radically different from their base forms (pardon the pun). This page's just a note to myself of accumulated stupid radicals I've encountered - assuming I continue translating. Though, if anyone else stumbles onto this page you're certainly welcome to use/edit this page.

Just tricky ones:

  • 亻: Basically just a little fudging, just enough for someone to miss it. (If I didn't have a tiny bit of Chinese experience, this probably would've screwed me right from the beginning.)
  • 戸: Woulda thought they were separate or
  • 行: Now this is tricky because the remainder of the kanji goes inside the radical. They're not separate.
  • ⺼: Can easily be confused with

Other reminders:

  • If it looks similar, click it. Sometimes they're nice enough to put in a "See also:" line if the kanji are too similar.
  • Sometimes, the "What links here" button can offer a shortcut (Index:Chinese radical or Index:Chinese total strokes, perhaps even a counter-trace of the "See also:" links) if the trail looks like it's a dead end.
  • Dump all the parts of a kanji into the search bar, or even Google. It might pop out related compounds.
