What does a bar symbol in parallel with a single inductor indicate?
$begingroup$
Some circuits have parallel bars on their inductor symbols such as:
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.
