艹 (U+8279, aka radical variant of 艸) and 艹 (U+FA5E, aka, compatibility orthographic variant explicitly made up of two 十 十) should both be base radicals. As of 418fe90 , the far more frequently-used radical, 艹 (U+8279), is NOT included in the base radical list (!!!)

The IDS database records most common characters with the 艸 radical using U+8279, even in locales use the 十 十 orthographic style, e.g. 華、艺 (SC)、藝 (TC)、芸(JP - simplified)、満 (JP - simplified), etc

https://www.kanjipedia.jp/kanji/0000684000

The only characters which have U+FA5E in their IDS strings are "艹":["劳","𦬼","荣","蓳","𧏊","𧆾","𮓖"]

To complicate matters,

CJK Compatibility Ideographs | 艹 (FA5D)
CJK Compatibility Ideographs | 艹 (FA5E)
CJK Radicals Supplement | ⺾ (2EBE)
CJK Radicals Supplement | ⺿ (2EBF)
CJK Radicals Supplement | ⻀ (2EC0)
