Mnemonic symbol: a hula hoop. James II of England (zh) performs in front of the outhouse (ou1): he swings a hula hoop (周), juggles three mandarins (口) and balances a small heap of dirt (土) on his head. He cheated a little bit though, because he stapled the heap of dirt to his wig with a stapler (⺆).

Did you know it was Kitty Cat (cu) who originally set up "the village" (村)? She built the village by planting a forest of Christmas trees (木) around the encampment ((e)n1) and the first generation of villagers were very gratefully giving her thumbs up (寸) all the time.
