Yes, John Jenkins is correct. All were *already* encoded in the URO. See
Unicode 3.0, pp. 561-564, where you can see the compatibility mappings for
every last Kangxi radical to the corresponding unified ideograph.
The Kangxi radicals at U+2F00..U+2FD5 are effectively compatibility symbols
encoded at the insistence of China, because they are distinguished in GBK.
