Radical 2 or radical line (丨部) meaning "vertically connected"[1] is one of 6 of the 214 Kangxi radicals that are composed of only one stroke.
In the Kangxi Dictionary, there are only 21 characters (out of 49,030) to be found under this radical.
丨 is also the 2nd indexing component in the Table of Indexing Chinese Character Components predominantly adopted by Simplified Chinese dictionaries published in mainland China, with 亅 being its associated indexing component (used to be associated with 乛 prior to the new standard in 2009).
