Radical 16 or radical table (几部), meaning small table, is one of 23 of the 214 Kangxi radicals that are composed of 2 strokes.
几 is also the 16th indexing component in the Table of Indexing Chinese Character Components predominantly adopted by Simplified Chinese dictionaries published in mainland China. 𠘨 is an associated indexing component affiliated to the principal component 几. In addition, the identical character 几 used in Simplified Chinese for 幾 jǐ used to ask "how many" for small amounts or to mean "a few, some, almost, nearly" does not have any historical connection to the "table" character.
