Mnemonic


[zh-] James Bond is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he 瞻 looks upward with his 目 eyes at the 厂 cliff that hangs above the shop. There he can see a pair of 儿 legs that is shouting 言 words downward. James continues to 瞻 look upward until the 言 words finally hit him: "WATCH OUT! A ⺈ DAGGER WILL FALL!". Sure enough, James 瞻 looks up and sees a ⺈ dagger fall. He jumps out of the way as it lands right in the sidewalk in front of the pawn shop.
