Hint

Though this means the same as 四, this hanzi is used on official documents as it is harder to alter. Kind of like how on checks one always makes a straight line across the rest of the payable amount field so that it cannot be similarly altered.

Mnemonic


[s-] Spongebob is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house trying out a new look. He places 肆 four 長 long 聿 brushes into the various sponge holes of his head, each sticking out forming a strange sort of hair style. Spongebob thinks this looks 肆 four times better than his bald look he was rocking before.
