Comments
Okay to this is a character you'll never use on its own, so it's debatable if we really need a mnemonic for it. Why even bother? Here is my list of reasons:
- it's fun
That's it.
No really, "T" is used as a component in only two characters: 斤 and 鬲 (at the bottom), and never used on its own, so the use is marginal. I just find that the shape "T" is so easy to remember as a T-bone steak, making it easier (and more fun!) to remember both 斤 and 鬲 through using the T-bone steak in their respective mnemonics. That's also why I didn't bother to make sure that there is a flute and a dinosaur bone in the comic, because it's enough to remember "T" = "T-bone steak" by the shape of the character, and maybe the pinyin in case I want to type it (it will probably never happen - even in this comment I was too lazy and just typed a capital "t" when I wanted to write "T").
