Mnemonic comic for 丆

Translation

xx one of the characters used in kwukyel (phonetic "myeon"), an ancient Korean writing system

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.

丆 kinda looks like a wind turbine. 丿 is the base and 一 looks like two blades attached to the base.

Shoutout to Chrisdesign for uploading a wind turbine to https://openclipart.org/detail/131707/wind-turbine, which I slightly modified to make the shape fit the character.

丆 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.

- 一
- 丿

Make it your learning target and MandarinBanana works out the shortest route to it: the two sounds its syllable is built from, then the components of the character itself, one short step at a time. No account needed to start.
