Thread: question about arrangement of elements in a kanji Post: question about arrangement of elements in a kanji One thing you'll quickly notice is how many primitives have a specific "preferred" placement. For example, 頁 will always go on the right-hand side of the kanji. You'll find exceptions for these, but t... |
