Memory story · made up to help you remember
“The small crown! Imagine a tiny, flickering light or a small cap sitting on top of a character. This radical often brings the energy of "shining" (like light) or "centering" a concept. When you see it at the top, think of a concentrated point of focus, a bright ray, or a small but important leading idea.”
