noun
kanji radical 165 (topped rice)
Refers to the left-side radical ⾤, which looks like 米 with a small stroke on top. Used in characters such as 釈 and 釉.
「釈」の左側の部首はノ米偏です。
The left-side radical of 釈 is the 'topped rice' radical.
米偏 is radical 119 (the rice radical), which looks like 米 without the extra stroke on top. ノ米偏 adds a small ノ-like stroke above 米.
The name ノ米偏 describes the shape: a ノ (katakana no) on top of 米 (rice) on the left side (偏). The alternate spelling 釆偏 uses the actual radical character 釆.
