Stroke sequence :

The radical 6 meaning " hook " is one of six traditional radicals of Chinese characters , which consist of only a single stroke.

It rarely occurs with 5 character combinations in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary . In the Kangxi dictionary , too, there are only 19 characters that can be found under this radical .

The Chinese originally used wooden brushes with fiber tips. They could only write angular characters with it. With the brush with the tip of your hair, the characters changed their appearance. This vertical line has now softened and assumed the wrong meaning "hook".
