List by radical

A Chinese character list organized by radical categorizes characters based on their structural components known as radicals. Radicals are basic elements of Chinese characters that often indicate the meaning or semantic category of a character

Organizing Chinese characters by radical can help learners recognize patterns in character composition and understand the relationships between characters with similar components. Radicals serve as building blocks for characters and can provide clues to their meanings or pronunciations. Studying characters by radical can be a useful method for memorizing characters, expanding vocabulary, and deepening one's understanding of the Chinese writing system.
