Mnemonic comic for 彳

Translation

chì = ch + Ø4: step with the left foot (Kangxi radical 60) / see also 彳亍[chi4 chu4]

Mnemonic

Mnemonic symbol for the step with the left foot: a black sneaker, because black sneakers are popular at least with the leftists I met. Rosa Luxemburg (亻) just finished her banana (丿) and throws the peel over her shoulder in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). Charlie Chaplin (彳), wearing a black sneaker on his left foot, manages to step on the banana peel with his left foot and fall over even in zero gravity.
