About the English names

The English names of the radicals are from the Unicode Character Database for Unicode version 13.0.0 provided with the Perl computer programming language (version v5.32.1).

These names are taken from the Kangxi Radicals Block (U+2F00 to U+2FFF). However, the UCD English names, such as "do not" for ⽏ (U+2F4F), are also inconsistent with the CJK Radicals Supplement Block (U+2E80 to U+2EFF), which uses "mother" as the English name for the variant form of the same radical, ⺟ (U+2E9F).

Incidentally the names of the blocks are also inconsistent, with one named Kangxi radicals and the other named CJK Radicals.

Radicals in Unicode

Unicode contains two "blocks" which specifically deal with kanji radicals. The basic radical block is the Kangxi Radicals block, from U+2F00 to U+2FFF. Variant forms of the radicals, such as ⺡ U+2EA1 for ⽔, U+2F54, appear in the CJK Radicals Supplement, from U+2E80 to U+2EFF.

In addition, all of the elements of the Kangxi Radicals block are duplicated in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, so for example ⽔ U+2F54 has an identical twin, 水 U+6C34. The correspondance between these two is given in the Unicode Character Database (UCD) in the file CJKRadicals.txt. See the links below.
