Mnemonic comic for 𠂉

Translation

Character component without intrinsic meaning

Mnemonic

A mnemonic is a short, deliberately ridiculous scene, built to be hard to forget. Who appears in it and where it takes place are how the pronunciation is stored; the objects in it stand for the parts the character is written with. That is the Marilyn Method, and the comic below is the same scene, drawn.

Mnemonic symbol: 𠂉 looks like a key.

Imagine a banana you can’t open without putting a key into each of the holes of a flute which is painted on its peel.

This is just to make you aware that I'm going to use a key in the next comic, and it's for 𠂉. This is a character component which is used in quite a lot of characters, as you can see below on this page.

𠂉 character breakdown

Chinese characters are built out of smaller characters. Each component carries a mnemonic symbol - one concrete object that stands in for it - and a mnemonic story hands those objects to the person and the place that stand for the pronunciation. Learn a component once and every character that reuses it gets easier.
