What is the upper radical in the Kanji 悪?


I recognize the heart radical at the bottom of the kanji 悪, but I cannot make
my mind about the upper one.

  * Do you know the name of this radical?
  * Do you also know of another Kanji using this radical? 

I have some notions of Chinese, and I don't seem to recognize a similar
radical. I have been told Kanji/Hanzi have been simplified differently during
history depending on Chinese or Japan. So maybe there's a different simplified
Chinese form for this one.




> _Do you know the name of this radical ?_

It is **亜【あ】** , which is not only a component (calling it _radical_ is
technically wrong) but an independent character that even has [a dedicated
page on Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BA%9C).

> _Do you also know of another Kanji using this radical?_

Yes, and there is [a relatively user-friendly website to look up
kanji](https://jigen.net/) if you read Japanese.

When you [search for 悪](https://jigen.net/kanji/24746), you will get its
decomposition ⿱亜心. And if you put 亜 in the search form as "component" (部品),
you will get [a handful of
characters](https://jigen.net/data/%E8%A9%B3%E7%B4%B0%E6%A4%9C%E7%B4%A2%EF%BC%9A%E4%BA%9C%E3%82%92%E5%90%AB%E3%82%80%E6%BC%A2%E5%AD%97?type2=1&rs=100).
But if you see [the information page of 亜](https://jigen.net/kanji/20124), you
will be notified that its traditional form is 亞, which is likely to be used in
more (i.e. [non-常用](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjitai)) kanji. So if you
look up 亞 as component, you will get [a bunch of
characters](https://jigen.net/data/%E8%A9%B3%E7%B4%B0%E6%A4%9C%E7%B4%A2%EF%BC%9A%E4%BA%9E%E3%82%92%E5%90%AB%E3%82%80%E6%BC%A2%E5%AD%97?type2=1&rs=200).
