Is There a Japanese Character for again?

Kanji are classified in kanji dictionaries according to their main components which are called radicals (roots) in English and 部首 (ぶしゅ) in Japanese. 部 (ぶ) means a grouping and 首 (しゅ) means a chief (caput/cervix). There are 214 historical radicals derived from the 18th century Kangxi dictionary.

Every kanji without exception but has i radical / 部首 (ぶしゅ). Each radical has a pregnant(s) and lends its meaning(s) to the kanji of which information technology is office. Please take a expect at the examples below. The right part of these iii kanji is the same but the left function is different. The left role of these kanji is their radical. Note how each radical imparts its meaning to the kanji:

時:  The radical of this kanji is 日 (sun, day, time). The meaning of this kanji is "time."
詩:  The radical of this kanji is 言 (words, to speak, say). The meaning of this kanji is "poetry, poem".
持:  The radical of this kanji is 扌(hand). The significant of this kanji is "to concur".

For this reason information technology is very important to learn each kanji's radical, equally well as the meaning(s) of its radical. Not all 214 radicals are in utilize in electric current Japanese but you will presently get familiar with the most important ones and their variants.

There are no official Japanese names for radicals. Simply there are certain commonly-used names. That is why you volition notice differences in the Japanese names for the radicals on unlike websites and dictionaries.

Radicals are categorized into seven principal groups according to their position within a kanji. Please note that some kanji are also radicals in and of themselves (such as 大, 日, 月). In those cases, the kanji and the radical are one and the same, and thus the position of the radical in the kanji is irrelevant. Every bit a result they exercise not fall into any one of the seven categories.

へん (hen)		Radicals on the left side of the kanji
つくり (tsukuri)		Radicals on the right
かんむり (kanmuri)		Radicals on the peak
あし (ashi)		Radicals on the lesser
かまえ (kamae)		Radicals which enclose the kanji
たれ (tare)		Radicals which "hang downwards"
にょう (nyou)		Radicals which wrap around the bottom of a character
