Hi everybody,
I am beginning my journey thought kanji and am having some difficulty distinguishing and distinguishing the difference(s) between radicals and graphemes. I see that some characters are both graphemes and radicals, and that in my kanji book (Hadamitzky & Spahn's Kanji & Kana) radicals have meanings (like lid, legs, top, etc.). Can somebody please help me make the distinction and let me know how they are used in building kanji?
Thanks in advance!
