Kanji Using This Radical

Note (stroke radicals): Radicals such as 丶 (dot), 丨 (vertical stroke), 亅 (hook), and 丿 (sweeping stroke) are primarily used for classifying kanji by shape rather than conveying meaning. Their names come from the way the stroke is written, and their forms may vary slightly depending on the position within a character.
