used the radical 八. I would have thought it should appear if you tried
to look up with radical 一　or 屮 (I can't make it show the new radical,
for grass it isn't in the codepage it seems). If I use Hadamitzky-Spahn
it shows up as having those radicals. Why just the radical eight in EDICT?



Ahem. Throughout this thread you refer repeatedly to "EDICT", when
you actually mean KANJIDIC. EDICT is word dictionary and doesn't have
radicals, etc.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, 共 has the tradional radical
of 八 (#12), and that's what it has in KANJIDIC.

In the kradfile, which drives the multi-radical lookup, it is only
classed as ハ. I think this is a mistake, as 供 and 拱 also have ｜, 一 and 二. I'll add those to 共.

Well I used EDICT/Kanjidic via Jquicktrans, so forgive me if I get the names confused. I think Jquicktrans mixes kanjidic and edict files. But I checked in the Monash hosted WWW-interface afterwards and got same result.

Btw before you make a change, you should check the kanji in the unihan database http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=5171
It is listed as having just the radical hachi, nothing more.

(OH wait, Unihan is made from data provided BY you. Lol. It will be corrected here too?)

However I am now even more confused. Further up in the thread I was told that it wasn't REALLY radicals but components. But now you changed it anyways... I don't follow any more. Are they really radicals or not? Or does it matter at all?
