sundial

Mnemonic


This component depicts a portable 午 sundial. The vertical stroke in the middle is the stake that drives it into the ground. The lower, wider, horizontal stroke is the platform that contains all the times that the shadow of the sun points at. The topmost horizontal stroke with the drop at the end of it is the thing the sun shines down on, to create the shadow.
