Memory story · made up to help you remember
“A fuzzy feeling! This radical represents the natural covering of animals and the fine, organic details of human growth. When you see it, think of warmth (fur), texture (bristles), and the raw material for ancient cloth and scholar's brushes. It brings a sense of softness, organic detail, and the tactile nature of life to any character it joins.”
