Mnemonic comic for 丆

Translation

xx one of the characters used in kwukyel (phonetic "myeon"), an ancient Korean writing system

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.

A hungry ancient Korean scribe plays his flute (一) at a wind turbine (丆) until the blast of music spins its blades. He holds up a banana (丿) for the blades to peel, eats it, and writes his kwukyel (丆) notes on the peel.

丆 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.
