soldier

Mnemonic


It's a depiction of a 士 soldier standing at attention, albeit in a weird way. His two feet are pointing outwards, and he stretches his arms outward. The difference between this and the soil component is that the top horizontal stroke is longer than the bottom stroke, while in 土, it is not.
