Radicals

together
monthThe radical tsuki stands for moon or month when used at the right side of a character. However the radical niku that stands for body or body-part is in many cases simplified to and thus looks equal as "moon".
Stick in a handThe radical nobun shows a hand or that holds a stick (simplified from the Chinese radical 66 攴 for whip or rap. In this radical, the stick in the hand is easily cognizable.)
Tip: Go to the radicals that are contained in this character and learn all the characters with this radical systematically!
