What does a bar symbol in parallel with a single inductor indicate?

Some circuits have parallel bars on their inductor symbols such as:



Enter image description here



Does that mean the inductor is wound around a magnetic core instead of air? Is that how a differential choke is represented?

          Typically yes. The bar is used to indicate some form of ferrous core.

            A solid bar indicates a ferrous core (core made of a ferrous metal, such as iron).



            A dashed bar indicates a ferrite core.

            I see this convention for ferrites such as in the filter you show, tho I can't seem to find an official source indicating this is an official standard of some kind.

              Well, IEEE Std 315 specifies this symbol for an inductor with a "magnetic core":



              inductor with core, symbol from IEEE Std 315



              The standard doesn't show any symbols with a single bar, at least as far as I can see.

                When I was a boy, British laminated FeSi cores had three lines; ferrite cores were a single dashed or sometimes dotted line.

                @MichaelHarvey Yes, I have also seen many variations over the years. I just wanted to point out that there really is a standard way of drawing these things.

                              Well, IEEE Std 315 specifies this symbol for an inductor with a "magnetic core":

                              The standard doesn't show any symbols with a single bar, at least as far as I can see.
