CHINESE RADICALS
| HSK | RADICAL | PINYIN | ENGLISH |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 匕 ① | bǐ | spoon; knife |
| 1 | 亠 ② | tóu | - |
| 1 | 门 | mén | door |
NOTES:
① 匕 means "spoon" as a Radical and "knife" as an independent character.
② There is no agreement on the meaning of 亠 and characters that have 亠 as their Radical don't have a commonly shared meaning, so we can say the meaning of 亠 is "undecided".
