In the Kangxi Dictionary, there are 115 characters (out of 49,030) to be found under this radical.

冫 is also the 18th indexing component in the Table of Indexing Chinese Character Components predominantly adopted by Simplified Chinese dictionaries published in mainland China.

Evolution

Note that in modern Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese, radical ice in some characters (e.g. 冬, 寒) is now written as two dots. Their original forms are retained in Korean hanja and some old Traditional Chinese typefaces (e.g. 冬, 寒).
