鬥 is also the 190th indexing component in the Table of Indexing Chinese Character Components predominantly adopted by Simplified Chinese dictionaries published in mainland China. However, this radical character 鬥 and former radical 169 門 "door" were merged to 门 during the simplification. 鬥 is therefore no longer in use in Simplified Chinese and is retained as an indexing component only for historical reasons.
