Mnemonic comic for 丿

The character 丿 is not used as a standalone character, but one of the most important basic strokes. Therefore it can be very useful to know how to type it using the Pinyin input method. Additionally, learning the mnemonic system how to remember "pi" and "e3" now makes it easier to learn and remember more complicated characters later.

In our system, "pie3" is represented by Pocahontas in the elevator's living room. Pinyin initials with "i" are represented by women, and the final "e3" is represented by the elevator.

Here's the key how to remember the tone of the Pinyin final:

1 -> in front of
2 -> in the kitchen
3 -> in the living room
4 -> in the bathroom
5 -> on the roof
