Notes
When ⺼ appears in this form as a component, we use the key meaning 'body part'. When it appears in its original form, 肉 (meat), we use 'meat'
Radical 74, 月 (month; moon), also usually appears in kanji in exactly the same form as this form of 肉 (meat). To distinguish the two, in Kanshudo we use the character ⺼ as the component when it represents 肉 (meat), and 月 (month; moon) or ⺝ (month; moon)when it represents moon.
Learn about the pleasures of the flesh with the radical that pops up inside 20 Jōyō kanji for body parts, from 脳 (brain) to 膝 (knee). Okay, not quite head to toe, but close!
