各

夂
:
Mnemonic symbol: each and every (各) one of us is made of atoms, of which most were created in a star (from lighter atoms). That's why I choose to represent this character by a star. Guy Fawkes (g) is stepping on a mandarin (口) with high heels (夂) in the bathroom of the elevator (e4). As he squeezes, the mandarin suddenly explodes in a rain of stars (各). Each and every (各) one of them is shining brighter than the others.

立
:
In front of the ashram, sir Lancelot tries to make some music using a fiddlestick and a vase by bowing along the opening of the vase. Maybe he would be successful if he put down that silly toy claw.

亠
:
Ever since Don Quixote stapled a beret to his head in front of the anthill, he has these weird headaches. To fight them, he swallows lots of painkillers in form of red pills.
The first signs of spring were visible in form of blossoms (⺀) appearing everywhere in front of the engine ((e)ng1), but then the winter (冬) came back and froze them. To keep warm, Doggy Dog (du) eats a hot soup with udon noodles (冬). Wearing high heels (夂) he also enjoys to keep moving and stomps on the frozen blossoms.

山

凵
:
Mnemonic symbol: 山 looks like the tip of a fork. Sherlock Holmes (sh) is climbing a mountain (山) in front of the anthill (an1). He uses a dinosaur bone (〡) as walking stick, and to have better grip he attached a fork (山) to its tip. Unfortunately he accidentally sticks the fork into a receptacle (凵) on the ground of the mountain and gets shocked.
