Great chart/tool, thanks. Though you
might want to look at the 7th character on the first row. 虫 is shown in
pinyin as hui3. I’m only in the early stages of learning to read &
write but the far more common use is chong2! KTdict C-E dictionary has
both listed for the character but when searching it for 虫 has no examples of
compound characters sounded as hui3 and every multi character word using 虫 use Chong2 as the sound/pinyin . The only use of “hui” I can find is hui1 (蛔).

Hi there! Glad it helps. The wikipedia article actually has all the Traditional AND the Simplified (in a separate row). The best link is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangxi_radical
Also, I’ve added a link to download a free radical poster to the article. It’s something normally sold at hanziwallchart.com but I’m making it available free here too.

This is wonderful! What are the 200 pieces in Traditional Characters? Where can you get the list?

I don’t see the caps lock so think you are ok!
They aren’t characters but the components of characters. If you check the bottom of the article there’s a list of resources for starting to learn the components. There’s a complete list on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangxi_radical.
Hanzicraft is also a great place to start playing around with the components and seeing how characters are composed.

Ok nice, but what are the actual 200 characters? And why am I writing with caps lock turned on?
