JERK OBSOLETE
99% of the time you see this, it's a RADICAL, meaning glue. (why glue? Because the main kanji you'll see it in is 'stick to' - as you'll soon see!)

Anyway, even if 'glue' is kind of an arbitrary keyword, it's STILL better than the original meaning: 'An obsolete unit of measurement for determining pants sizes.'

## Mnemonic

| Let's think of the dot as a drop of GLUE. thus. . . A tiny amount of glue and SOON my scissors will be fixed!
