Re: What should be radicalsI take it you mean chiht/qi�? That comes under the 'knife' radical. .... 'sword' isn't a radical, it comes under the 'side' variant of the radical 'knife'.
I don't know about Kanji, but in Cantonese characters NINE doesn't ever feature as a radical; certainly as an element, but so do a lot of other 'bits of characters'such as the right side of 'you' n�ih/ni ...

Shouldn't HAN DIGIT NINE be a radical? I've seen it in a few places in kanji.
Also, what is the radical of "cut"? "Sword"?
I remember the "cut" chatacter by thinking that 7 swords do a lot of cutting.
Unicode is going to stick with the KangXi radical system. It's the best-known and most widely used. It's not flawless, goodness knows, but it's really the best choice under the circumstances.
