Mnemonic story
Mnemonic story
This kanji means 'to hit' or 'to be appropriate.' Since the components 'small' and 'pig's head' do not intuitively explain the meaning, it is more effective to remember it through common vocabulary used in both Korean and Japanese, such as 'dang-cheom' (winning a prize) or 'dang-yeon' (of course).
