Mnemonic comic for 乛
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: a sickle.
James II of England (zh) cuts his own hair with his new sickle (乛) in the elevator’s kitchen (e2).

Man, the new ChatGPT image generation model is really a lot better than everything else I've tried so far, but I couldn't get rid of the third hand for the life of me. Well, I'll take it anyway. At least the LLM model finally knows what a sickle is.

How to pronounce 乛
MandarinBanana teaches pronunciation with the Marilyn Method: every Pinyin syllable is one initial plus one final, the initial becomes a person, an animal or a deity, and the final becomes a place in your memory palace — with the tone deciding which part of that place the scene happens in. Remember the little story below for each half and the whole syllable comes back with them.
乛 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.
