Yahoo dicitonary use the symbol ph to refer to phrase (片語). A phrase may include a verb, but not always, for example:

out of the blue

ph. (片語 phrase)

意外地

A phrase means a group of words which is part of a complete sentence.

If you use an English dictionary (e.g. Longman), you may also find the symbol phr v, which means phrasal verb.
