It seems to me some radicals and non-radicals have names, and some do not.

<p>I would like to know, so all radicals and non-radicals that make up Chinese character have names?</p>

<p>If so, then where can I find a radical and non-radical Chinese character component dictionary?</p>

<p>I was thinking, that if someone was teaching, they may want to use name (and perhaps also 的-descriptions, for disambiguation), when teaching them.</p>

<p>This would also have the advantage, of, adding visually impaired people understand, the various components a character was made up of, which might help explain its meaning, a pronunciation clue, or even, which I think would be very nice, a story related to the parts that make up a character.</p>

<p>In theory, it would be nice to have a Braille system, where a long sequence of Braille characters, told the user on a Braille device (which could also speak), the exact components and layout of these radical and non-radical components.</p>

<p>After all, blind users may be curious.</p>

Sorry, my Chinese is not advanced enough to be able to red this. Is there a Chinese or Chineseand English resource online accessible to learners. I don't think I have a way to grab a good of the book. Thanks.

Short answer is, yes there is, and it's a important part of early education (first a few years in elementary school). Chinese-Chinese directories also has a index to look up characters by component, to solve the problem that "How do I find out how to pronounce that strange symbol?" or "How am I suppose to look it up in the dictionary if I don't know the pinyin" kind of chicken-egg problem.

Hi user6065. I was aware of the stiff in the second document. I am looking for something more extensive than the very very short list outlined in the first document. Thanks.

The picture is there to provoke thought about how radicals may be presented to blind users using a Braille display. I have a Braille document which suggests blind users just rely on a Braille version of pinyin to learn Chinese, but, if they could see the radicals and character components as well somehow, that would certainly be nice.

Do all 汉字 components (radicals and non-radicals) have names?
# Do all 汉字 components (radicals and non-radicals) have names?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-09-22)

I would like to know, so all radicals and non-radicals that make up Chinese character have names?

If so, then where can I find a radical and non-radical Chinese character component dictionary?

I was thinking, that if someone was teaching, they may want to use name (and perhaps also 的-descriptions, for disambiguation), when teaching them.

This would also have the advantage, of, adding visually impaired people understand, the various components a character was made up of, which might help explain its meaning, a pronunciation clue, or even, which I think would be very nice, a story related to the parts that make up a character.

In theory, it would be nice to have a Braille system, where a long sequence of Braille characters, told the user on a Braille device (which could also speak), the exact components and layout of these radical and non-radical components.
