Brief

This is a comprehensive list of the radicals (primitives) that appear in James Heisig's Remembering The Kanji Vol. 1.
It was created as a digital companion to Heisig's RTK1, for quick reference when looking for names of radicals.
All radicals should appear in the order that they were taught.

Under "Keywords" are names Heisig has given a radical in RTK1.

Italicized keywords are names for radicals coined by members of kanji.koohii.com.
Note: Google Documents does not preserve italics of Excel documents converted to Google format.
In such cases, assume any keyword not found in the book is the community meaning (they are always given second to Heisig's meaning.)

Pictures are included for cases where a particular radical has no existing printable Unicode character.
If a radical has no printable character, a few example kanji the radical appears in will be shown inside brackets.
Whenever you see "remove ..." in column C, ignore the subsequently listed radicals, as they are not intended to be a part of the defined radical, but commonly appear with it.
