Kangxi Radical
The 214 Kangxi radicals (), also known as the Zihui radicals, form a system of radicals () of Chinese characters. The radicals are numbered in stroke count order. They are the most popular system of radicals for dictionaries that order Traditional Chinese characters (''hanzi'', ''hanja'', ''kanji'', ''chữ hán'') by radical and stroke count. They are officially part of the Unicode encoding system for CJKV characters, in their standard order, under the coding block "Kangxi radicals", while their graphic variants are contained in the "CJK Radicals Supplement". Thus, a reference to "radical 61", for example, without additional context, refers to the 61st radical of the ''Kangxi Dictionary'', 心; ''xīn'' "heart". Originally introduced in the 1615 ''Zihui'' (字彙), they are more commonly named in relation to the ''Kangxi Dictionary'' of 1716 ('' Kāngxī'' being the era name for 1662–1723).

In analyzing the structure of characters and defining the words represented by them, Xu Shen strove to disambiguate the meaning of the pre-Han Classics, so as to render their usage by government unquestioned and bring about order, and in ...
