Radical 64 or radical hand (手部) meaning "hand" is one of the 34 Kangxi radicals (214 radicals in total) composed of 4 strokes.
When appearing as a left-side component, this radical is almost always written as 扌 (notable exceptions: 拜, although Japanese shinjitai analogizes it to 拝; and dialectal characters 掰, 搿), while it becomes a vertically compressed 手 when appearing as a bottom component.
In the Kangxi Dictionary, there are 1203 characters (out of 49,030) to be found under this radical.
手 is also the 80th indexing component in the Table of Indexing Chinese Character Components predominantly adopted by Simplified Chinese dictionaries published in mainland China, with 扌 being its associated indexing component.
