I noticed that there is a variant of the 之繞 radical ⻌ which occurs in some words but not others. The variant is 辶 (with an extra stroke). It appears in words like 逢う and 槌.
enter image description here

It turns out that Non-Joyo kanji which use the 之繞 radical are written with the variant 辶 while Joyo kanji use the more common ⻌ - "常用漢字以外は「辶」を用いる" (See details here).

Are there any other radicals which have variants that are differentiated by Joyo vs Non-Joyo?

  • The description is not quite accurate. The one-dot variant is neither "standard" nor "Joyo", it's every kanji in Joyo standardised before the 2010 reform. The two-dot variant is more "standard" as it applies to all other Kanji, including Joyo kanji after 2010. See https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/65350/why-is-there-a-difference-between-the-hand-drawn-%e9%81%93-and-the-pc-font-one/65354#65354. Also, neither of these variants apply to handwriting. – dROOOze Jun 11 '19 at 12:06
  • I will comment on the other thread instead. This thread is now redundant. – kandyman Jun 11 '19 at 12:17
