Many radicals happen to also be characters, but that’s not true in general, and you definitely cannot say anything about the meaning of a character based on its radical. | |

Added example

| Dec 15, 2011 at 6:23 | comment | added | Orion | Hmmm, you'll need to be a bit more clear when with that last part, maybe by providing an example. I can't recall a situation when I had difficulty determining which part was the radical. | |
