Radical 95 or radical profound (玄部) meaning "dark" or "profound" is one of the 23 Kangxi radicals (214 radicals in total) composed of 5 strokes.
In the Kangxi Dictionary, there are only six characters (out of 49,030) to be found under this radical. In addition, the final dot stroke of the character in the Kangxi Dictionary was omitted (𤣥) to avoid using the same character in Kangxi Emperor's name 玄燁 (see naming taboo).
This radical is not used in Simplified Chinese dictionaries.
