Radical ⽻ (yǔ) — meaning: feather, 6 strokes.

Origin & mnemonic

This radical originates from a pictograph of a feather, depicting a feather with two wings opening on either side, resembling a bird raising its wings in flight. Over time, this image was formalized in seal script and evolved into the modern character form.

Mnemonic: Picture two wings spreading wide from a feather in flight — remember this radical by visualizing the two curved strokes opening outward like feathered wings.
