Radicals
|
丬
|
bed | (Simplification of fragment: 爿 which shows a tree split lengthwise. (片 is the other half) - Not at least because of its use with these characters 寐,寝 for 'sleep', it got the meaning of "bed".) |
|
夕
|
evening | (This radical is similar to moon: 月, but at the evening the moon is not complete and thus only one inner line.) |
|
酉
|
wine, alcohol | |
Tip: Go to the radicals that are contained in this character and learn all the characters with this radical systematically!
