Mnemonic comic for 勹
Mnemonic
勹 looks like an elephant: 丿 looks like the edge of the ear and ㇆ looks like the head and trunk.
Beelzebub (b) rides an elephant in front of the aorta (ao1), turning the soil with a plow (㇆). Lots of bananas (丿) are revealed in the turned earth.
Comments
Here we see the plow in action together with the banana to form 勹, which reminds me of an elephant: 丿 looks like the ear, and 亅 looks like the trunk.
As for the pronunciation: "b" is represented by Beelzebub. Pinyin initials without "special" vowels (i, u, ü) are represented by men. The Pinyin final "ao" is represented by the aorta, the largest artery in the human body. You can see it behind Beelzebub riding on the elephant.
As a reminder, 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
