Mnemonic symbol: 出 tilted 90 degrees looks like "EE". "EE" is an abbreviation for "emergency exit". In front of the space station (Ø1) Chantal Chicken (chu) plugged her thornbush (屮) into a receptacle (凵), but it short circuited and immediately caught fire. Chantal has no option but to use the emergency exit (出) she came out of to go back into the space station.

Mnemonic symbol: 山 looks like the tip of a fork. Sherlock Holmes (sh) is climbing a mountain (山) in front of the anthill (an1).

Unfortunately he accidentally sticks the fork into a receptacle (凵) on the ground of the mountain and gets shocked.

扌
:
Joan of Arc (ji) locked herself out of the space station again. In front of the space station (Ø1) she tries to break (击) the door open using her electric mortar (击). The mortar has to be a few meters away from the door but the receptacle (凵) for its cord is right next to the door, so Joan of Arc plugs the mortar in using a toy claw (扌).
