𧰨 = 丿 + 亅 + ㇏ : Mnemonic symbol: let's say this one looks like a friendly caterpillar. The many 丿 strokes to the left are the legs, the 亅 stroke is the body and the two strokes to the right (丿 and ㇏) are two of many hairs.

The friendly caterpillar is crawling all over a banana (丿) eating it, but there are many fingers (㇏) and crowbars (亅) trying to push it away.
