Characters and words in 知己

to know / to be aware

= + : Mnemonic symbol: Francis Bacon is attributed to have stated "scientia potentia est", "knowledge is power". I'll thus represent 知 by Francis Bacon. Francis Bacon (知) and James II of England (zh) are playing darts (矢) in front of the space station (Ø1). Because they lack a dart board they just use a mandarin (口).
self / oneself / sixth of the ten Heavenly Stems 十天干[shi2 tian1 gan1] / sixth in order / letter "F" or Roman "VI" in list "A, B, C", or "I, II, III" etc / hexa

This character looks like a butcher's hook. In the space station, Joan of Arc wants to conduct an experiment about a sixth order chaotic pendulum. First she hooks a butcher's hook to a sickle, then sticks the sickle's end into a flute, and finally hooks the handle of a shovel into the last hole of the flute. She then swings the chaotic pendulum to observe its behaviour.
