Meanings

  1. 1 cover radical (Kangxi #146)
  2. 2 indexing radical for characters topped with a flat lid

Tips

usage
襾 is a niche indexing radical meaning 'cover'. Most learners never encounter it as a separate unit — they simply read the top of 要 (yào, want), 票 (piào, ticket), 覆 (fù, cover/overturn) as a recognizable lid shape. The flattened top form 覀 is more common in modern type.
history
Few modern characters file under 襾 directly; many were reclassified into other radicals during traditional-to-simplified reorganizations.

Radical

Cover Kangxi #146

The 'cover/lid' radical. A pure structural slot for characters topped by a flat covering shape. Very low productivity — the canonical residents are 要 (want), 覆 (cover), 覃 (deep). The top-only flattening 覀 is the form most readers actually see in modern type.
