There are four duplicate radicals and the total is 542, so when I remove the duplicates, only 538 radicals remain. Can you please add the missing ones?
Is there some authoritative resource for the choice of Unicode characters representing the radicals? Thank you in advance (yannis1962 host bby ggl com) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.64.209.244 (talk) 19:16, 17 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hello Yannis,
I copied the list from a website (see Donald Sturgeon). Cook, Richard (2001) is as far as I know the best resource you can have. I'm not sure all the 540 Shuowen radicals (old Chinese) have their Unicode counterpart (modern Chinese). This is something to check using the source (Sturgeon + Cook + Unicode + one handwriting input method). Regard, Yug(talk)23:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
