Radical ⾽ (biāo) — meaning: hair, 10 strokes.

Origin & mnemonic

The hair radical derives from a pictograph depicting strands of hair on the human head, originating from oracle-bone and seal-script forms. The earliest shape represented individual hairs or hair strands emerging from the scalp.

Mnemonic: Picture a bundle of hair sprouting from the head with wispy strokes hanging down like loose strands of hair.
