Decomposition Levels:
Level 1 - Once: Only divided once. So only two components.
Level 2 - Radical: Radical Decomposition. The character gets decomposed into its lowest radical components. For the complete list visit the Radical wikipedia page.

If you see questions marks or too many "block" characters, especially when it comes to level 3 decomposition you might need the correct font.
