Radical no. 72 · 4 strokes (第 72 部首 · 4 画 dì 72 bùshǒu · 4 huà)
Radical ⽇ (rì) — meaning: sun, 4 strokes.
Origin & mnemonic
This radical is a pictograph of the sun, drawn as a circle or square with a dot or point in the center. In oracle-bone script and seal script, this shape was simplified to a plain square frame as seen in modern form.
Mnemonic: The simple square frame ⽇ resembles the sun encircled or enclosed, easy to remember as it directly depicts the sun's image.
