How to write 人
The shapes it is written in
亻 in 73 characters, 人 in 12 characters. They are one radical: a part changes shape to fit where it sits in the character, and the dictionary gives every shape the same meaning.
What it tells you about a character
Of the 85 characters below, 32 are pictophonetic with 人 as the half that carries the meaning — the other half carries the sound. That is the use of knowing a radical: it narrows what a new character is about before you know how to say it.
