Mnemonic symbol: 冖 shall be represented by a saucepan lid. Marilyn Monroe (mi-) wants to use the bathroom in the space station (Ø4), but the door is broken! She tries to cover herself with a saucepan lid (冖) instead.

爫

zhǎo = zh + ao3

"claw" radical in Chinese characters (Kangxi radical 87)

Mnemonic symbol: the strokes of this character remind me of a smiling mouth over a beard; thus, I'll represent it by an electric razor. James II of England (zh) uses his electric razor (爫) to shave his beard in the aorta's living room (ao3).

舛

chuǎn = chu + an3

mistaken / erroneous / contradictory

舛 = 㐄 + 夕 : Just when Chantal Chicken (chu) was watching the last five minutes of the world championship inside of the anthill (an3), a bat (夕) landed on the TV's antenna (㐄), leading to an erroneous (舛) signal on the screen. Chantal's life really is full of trouble and misfortune (舛).
