尞 is the old form behind 燎 (to set ablaze) and is not used on its own today. It is a productive phonetic root, giving the sound in 燎 (to burn), 僚 (colleague), 寮 (hut / dormitory), 撩 (to tease), and 疗 (to treat / cure).

Treated as one unit. It historically stacked a 'fire' element under crossed kindling and sparks to show a ritual bonfire; the modern shape fused so the parts no longer separate cleanly in 尞.
Filed under radical 小 (xiǎo) by convention. 小 is not a separate component in 尞, so no strokes are highlighted.
