Radical ⿕ (yuè) — meaning: flute, 17 strokes.
Origin & mnemonic
This radical depicts an ancient bamboo flute with sound holes, as rendered in seal script. In classical Chinese, "yue" (樂) meant both music and flute, so this radical came to group characters related to musicians and musical instruments.
Mnemonic: Picture a bamboo flute with breath holes running along its shaft — each hole produces a different musical note.
