This isn't exactly a skritter question, but I don't know who else would know how to do this. Does anyone know if Microsoft IME can just type radicals? I want to make a list for my students of the radicals in their full character form AND how they appear in characters, but don't know how.

I often have trouble finding them using Microsoft IME myself. They're more easily copied and pasted, I think.

There is a much easier way. Use the Windows IME pad. Just click on the arrow down key on the IME and click the IME pad. Now you will have a new icon available. Click on that and click in the upper left corners icon to choose applets menu. Choose setting and add radical(CH) for Chinese or radical(JA) for Japanese. Now you can choose characters based on the radical , or the radical it self or based on the radical and the remaining number of strokes or using handwriting etc. Works great with skritter.

@mandarinboy nice, that's very helpful!

@mandarinboy that was just what I was looking for! Thank you
