jade

Origin & mnemonic

The jade radical originates from a pictographic depiction of a jade stone or bead, with the internal strokes representing the crystalline structure or veining of the stone.

Mnemonic: Remember the jade radical as a precious jade stone with inner veining—a square with crossed strokes inside.
