Sword

Mnemonic

If you look at this radical, it looks like the bottom part of a sword—the handle, more specifically. This radical also looks a lot like the power radical (), so don't get them confused. It's missing the little nubbin at the top, because 90% of the power comes from the sword to cut your enemies down (which is why the sword radical is 90% of the power radical).
