Many Chinese characters have more than one component. The traditional and simplified forms of Chinese characters can differ not only in their radicals but also in other components. For example,
The first three characters above are all characters with left-right structure. The correspondence of the right half of them is as follows：
For the last set of characters, the correspondence of the bottom half of the last character is seen below,
Sometimes, there is a slight difference in the strokes between the traditional and simplified forms of some Chinese characters. Again, observe the following set of Chinese characters.
The difference between the right half of the above characters lies in the strokes in the upper right corner, as seen below:
The simplification of components typically involves reducing the strokes, selecting specific parts of the components, or even creating a distinct character to substitute the original word.
Look at the following sets of characters and try to find the connection between traditional and simplified Chinese.
The correspondence between the above groups of Chinese characters is seen below:
You can also find that one simplified Chinese character component may correspond to several components of traditional Chinese characters, for example,
There is a pattern in the conversion of the above traditional and simplified Chinese characters regarding the specific components, however, there are also some characters who's traditional and simplified Chinese characters do not seem to have a regular pattern.
In some cases, it is difficult to find a correspondence between some traditional and simplified Chinese characters, as seen below.
