Hello, Can you add radical explanation to the dictionary, also ensure the radical explains both characters highlighted, such as 参加. Do not provide radical just for 参 and not for 加. Also is it possible to add most commonly used word with 参and加. The most common words do not have to be an entire list, maybe like 5 common words. These features will greatly improve your extension. Thank you so much for making a great extension.

Do you know of a character->radical database that I could use for this?
About showing the information for both characters, I think the best approach would be to do it the way the Hanzi dictionary works right now, letting you highlight individual characters. I don't see any reason why showing together the information about the radicals for two completely different characters would be necessary or useful, and it would make the extension more visually cluttered and hard to understand.
About showing common words for each character, how would you use that information? Would you expect then to be able to jump to the definitions of those words? Save them in a vocabulary list? How would you use this feature? Knowing this would help me understand how to implement it.
Again, if you know of a database of character->"common words with that character" it would make it easier to implement this.

@PabloRomanH Not sure if you're you'd still be interested at all in this, but if you'd still consider adding radical information then Wikitionary has a pretty good database that I've used for a project before and from everything that I saw seemed correct
