Variant forms of a radical are provided together (ex. 47. 巛川) or listed in two lines if they look very different (ex. 64. 手 and 64'. 扌). Simplified forms are given after a slash. (For example, number 187: 馬/马). The character examples are all traditional characters.
This list is such a common standard that sometimes radicals are referred to by number alone. A reference to radical 189, for example, without additional context, means 高.

A radical (from Latin radix, meaning "root") is the semantic root (i.e., portion bearing the meaning) of an inflected European word.
The list of section headers was later trimmed to 214 in the 1615 dictionary Zìhuì (字彙/字汇; "Lexicon") by Méi Yíngzuò (梅膺祚).
The Kangxi dictionary of 1716 was indexed using the Zìhuì section headers, and they form the standard list of 214 section headers or radicals still used today.
NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Radical (Chinese character) (2381 words)
Radicals are important to the organisation and use of Chinese dictionaries, Japanese Kanji dictionaries, and Korean Hanja dictionaries.
This list of radicals was later trimmed to 214 in the 1615 dictionary Zìhuì (字彙/字汇; "Lexicon") by Méi Yíngzuò (梅膺祚).
As a rule of thumb, radicals in the left or top of the character, or elements which surround the rest of the character are the ones most likely to be used as index radicals .
