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.

The primary reason for this comic to exist is not to remember the character 彳 itself, but to associate it with a black sneaker. This helps us to distinguish 彳 and 亻 as components in other characters.
