Mnemonic


The stroke sticking out of the top represents a head, the ones on each side represent arms and the two at the bottom represent two legs. The bulge beneath the left arm represents the bosom or breast, all of which in turn represent a single 女 woman. It is somewhat similar to the woman's bathroom symbol, except a bit more crooked and with a bosom instead of a skirt to represent the gender.
