Hi guys,
I’m new here and I have been studying my radicals using Anki with the download deck provided by Koichi. Everytime I come across the “fins” radical, Anki is telling me that it is “volcano” even though WaniKani is telling me that “volcano” has a flat top. Can anyone clear this up? Is there a glitch with my deck? I’m going to try and attach a screen capture of it and hopefully it posts correctly. Please let me know if you can’t see it.
Thanks all!

You know what? I think I see the subtle difference now. I guess is depends on the script.
The “flat top” of volcano is only in particular fonts. The main difference been volcano and fins (if it’s the one I’m thinking of; think it might have used to be called “fish legs”) is that volcano is usually at the top of a kanji – like 分 – and fins comes at the bottom – like 貝. Someone correct me if I’m wrong – been a long time since I’ve used TextFugu, probably not thinking of the right radical.
