Mnemonic comic for 𠂇

Character component without intrinsic meaning

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.

𠂇 looks like a pair of scissors. Imagine a pair of scissors (𠂇) cutting open a banana (丿) to find a flute (一) inside.

𠂇 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.

𠂇
- 丿
- 一
