The radical 15 meaning " ice " is one of 23 traditional radicals of Chinese characters that are written with two strokes.
With 29 combinations of characters in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary , it is relatively rare in the lexicon.
The radical 冫 places signs in the context of cold and related things such as in
- 冷 (= cold) or
- 冶 (= melt, also of metal).
The two drops of water 冫 are on the left. If they find themselves in the lower position, they change into two small lines such as, for example
- 冬 (= winter) or
- 寒 (= cold).
The symbol is similar to the katakana symbols ソ “so”, ン “n” and シ “shi”.
However , the two dashes in the following Chinese abbreviations are not related to this radical :
- 习 (= practice),
- 尽 (= spend) and
- 枣 (a type of date).
In the sign 次 (= sequence) the left component developed from 二 (= two).
