The characters

One sound, many meanings: the 部首 beside each character is the other half of the pair, the part that tells them apart.

The percentage is our computed confidence that 安 really signals that character’s sound — scored from how closely the readings agree and how reliably 安 predicts the sound of every character built on it. Mean for this family: 88%.
