Radical 34 or 35?
From the online sources I've looked at, there appears to be a lack of consensus as to whether this character belongs under radical 34 (夂) or 35 (夊):
 * According to the Japanese dictionary at the Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group], the radical number is 8, with a "traditional radical" of 34.
 * According to Unicode, it belongs to radical 35. However, it's codepoint (0x5909) immediately precedes the codepoint for the character for radical 35, 夊 (0x590A). In the CJK Unified Ideographs block (0x4E00 to 0x9FFF, radicals (and some radical variants) are encoded first, followed by characters grouped under that radical in order of increasing additional strokes. The position 5909 is not consistent with the character belonging to radical 35, but is consistent with it being the last character of radical 34.
 * At the same page above, two different values are given for this characters position in the KangXi dictionary (both virtual positions, since it does not actually appear). The field "kKangXi" gives an index of "0244.241", which means "virtual position after character 24 on page 244". However the field "kIRGKangXi" gives an index of "0245.101", which means "virtual position after character 10 on page 245". Radical 35 is the first character on page 245. Thus the former index suggests the character belongs to radical 34, the latter to radical 35.
 * At the time of this writing, en.wiktionary indicates radical 34, while both ja.wiktionary and zh.wiktionary indicate radical 35.
