Radical 4 meaning "slash" or "bend" is one of six of the 214 Kangxi radicals that are composed of only one stroke.
In the Kangxi Dictionary there are 33 characters (out of 40,000) to be found under this radical. It is highly similar to the Japanese kana, no (ノ).
Radical 4 is one of the eight elements of 永 (永字八法 Yǒngzì Bāfǎ) and thus basic to Chinese calligraphy.
