Re: Different kanjis or different fonts?

Ben Bullock <benkasminbullock@xxxxxxxxx> dixit:

Some of the radicals actually didn't exist in the JIS X 0208 set (the
standard Japanese one for computers and word processors) so I doubt if
there's a method to produce them from the kanji.

A few more got into JIS X 0212, but the complete 214 are not in any JIS
standard at present.

I think the kanjis are
ordered by radical in the set though.

No, the first half of JIS X 0208 is ordered on ON-yomi and the
second half on radical+stroke count.

I'm not sure if Unicode has all the
radicals either. Jim Breen was trying to track them all down using an old
file I made, but the job is unfinished.

They have all been in Unicode for a few years, in a special
"CJK Radicals Supplement" page, with code-points 2E80-2EF3. This
means that some glyphs appear twice. 長 can be seen at
http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=9577
and
