```
public class RadicalMap
extends Object
```
A way to determine the primary (or "semantic") radical of a Chinese character or get the set of characters with a given semantic radical. The information was extracted from the Unihan database with a script and then converted into the string format below.

- Method Detail
  - getRadical
```
public static char getRadical(char ch)
```
    What is the primary radical of this char?
    
    Parameters:
    
    ch - a Chinese character
    
    Returns:
    
    the primary radical (also a char) or '.' if char has no radical
  - getChars
```
public static Set getChars(char ch)
```
    What are the Characters with this primary radical?
    
    Parameters:
    
    ch - a Chinese character, interpreted as a radical
    
    Returns:
    
    the Set of chars with this as primary radical
  - main
```
public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws IOException
```
    The main function reads a list of characters and outputs the list with corresponding radicals. If the input character is not Chinese or has no radical (like punctuation) the symbol '.' is output. The flag -infile specifies a file to read characters from. The -encoding flag can be used to specify the input encoding. Any other arguments on the command line will be interpreted as characters to translate.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
