kanji "wa" crown radical (radical 14)

usually written using kana alone

Refers to the top radical 冖 (わかんむり), used in characters like 冠, 冥, and 写. This term is a metalinguistic label for the radical itself.

わかんむり
Alternative name for the same radical (radical 14). べきかんむり is less common but used in some kanji reference materials.

From 冖 (radical shape) + 冠 (かんむり, 'crown'). The reading べき is the on'yomi of 冖, though this character is not in common use.
