Kanji Components is one of the many "kanji assembling and decomposing" dictionaries available. Decompose a kanji in all its parts (radicals or smaller components) and look each part up independently. When the kanji is also a radical, it'll show itself as a component. This dictionary contains all the relevant phonetics for each kanji.
Why are there so many hanzi and kanji decomposing dictionaries?! Since no standard chart for decomposing kanji exists, each dictionary relies on its own unique algorithm to detect and identify different parts and radicals inside each character. Some dictionaries can offer valuable insight, detecting subtle patterns across the sea of characters often elusive to humans.
As an example, let's search all the kanji made up of the radical "elder":
"Decomposing" the first kanji from the list above (looking it up) will give you its components and all related kanji ("kanji made of kanji"):
You can now look up each resulting component individually to discover all the related kanji. For example, the resulting radical "child" is part of all the kanji below:
You can repeat the steps above for each and every kanji in the dictionary, to discover the relationship between their components.
