(Under Construction) Consolidating Radicals for Kanji Learning

Introduction

A fundamental concept of the kanji learning site Wanikani is that kanji are composed of parts called radicals. These radicals are given names or meanings. Radicals get combined to form the kanji and a mnemonic utilising the radical meanings helps for memorising the kanji.

Radicals however are actually a foundational and traditional concept for kanji not unique to Wanikani. The Kangxi radicals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangxi_radical are a more traditional list of 214 radicals that I see mentioned often. Where both Wanikani and Kangxi have the same radicals, the meanings do not always coincide.

There are also sites that offer a kanji lookup by radical feature. Many of these are based on the kradfile http://www.edrdg.org/krad/kradinf.html work. The kradfile work was a modern effort to indentify the parts of kanji. Jisho https://jisho.org/ is one such site that has a kanji lookup by radical feature.

The aim of this post is to consolidate the radicals across Wanikani, kradfile and the 214 Kangxi. Some of the goals of this exercise:

• Know which Wanikani radicals are actual radicals that can be used with radical lookup sites.
• Be aware of the traditional meanings of the radicals.
• Be aware of other radicals that are not mentioned by Wanikani.
• Be aware of when two Wanikani radicals are actually the same, just one is a transformed version of the other.

This will be useful for using radicals to learn Kanji that are not offered by Wanikani.
