The radical 13 meaning " wilderness " is one of 23 traditional radicals of Chinese characters that are written with two strokes.

With 10 character combinations in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary , it rarely appears in the dictionary.

The radical character sees the Greek Pi and the Cyrillic П (both "p") similar .

The current assignment of signs to the radical 冂 has nothing to do with its basic meaning, but with the fact that no other component than radical is available. This is the case with the following characters:

• 冉 (a name),
• 册 (= volume, book),
• 再 (= again) and
• 冈 (= mountain ridge).
