1. An inductor component comprising:
an element body having a main face;
an inductor wire extending in parallel with the main face with a number of turns being 0.5 turns or less in the element body;
a vertical wire extending in a thickness direction from the inductor wire toward the main face and connected to the inductor wire; and
a plurality of terminal portions exposed from the main face,
wherein
at least one of the plurality of terminal portions is an external terminal that is electrically connected to the inductor wire;
each of other of the terminal portions other than the external terminal among the plurality of terminal portions is a dummy portion that is not electrically connected to the inductor wire;
when viewed from the thickness direction, the main face has a two-fold symmetrical shape with respect to a geometric center of the main face;
when the main face is divided into a plurality of mutually congruent imaginary regions, a number of the imaginary regions being equal to a number of the terminal portions when viewed from the thickness direction:
the terminal portion is disposed in each of the imaginary regions;
when one of the dummy portions is defined as a specific dummy portion and the terminal portion, which is provided in the imaginary region at a two-fold symmetrical position about the geometric center with respect to the imaginary region in which the specific dummy portion is provided, is defined as a specific terminal portion,
a shape of the specific dummy portion is different from a shape of the specific terminal portion;
the vertical wire includes a first vertical wire and a second vertical wire;
the inductor wire includes a wiring body that extends linearly, a first pad that is provided at a first end of the wiring body and to which the first vertical wire is connected, and a second pad that is provided at a second end of the wiring body and to which the second vertical wire is connected;
the inductor wire includes a plurality of the inductor wires;
when one of the plurality of inductor wires is defined as a first inductor wire and another of the plurality of inductor wires is defined as a second inductor wire,
one of the first pad and the second pad in the first inductor wire is identical to one of the first pad and the second pad in the second inductor wire;
the wiring body of the first inductor wire extends linearly, and
the second inductor wire includes two straight portions extending in different directions and a connection portion connecting the two straight portions.
