Koohii stories:

1) [RoboTact] 4-1-2007(159): When something is entered by a dagger, it ends up being cut in several parts.

2) [dukelexon] 21-3-2008(147): (This kanji also has the meanings of "understand" and "minute"). It's important to understand that were you to enter an hour with a dagger and cut it into parts, those parts would be minutes.

3) [Kurisu] 28-5-2008(76): Perhaps one of the most read kanji in Japanese. It means to understand, to part, fraction, to break up, rate, minute, etc. To understand something completly one must enter a dagger into it to break it up into its parts. Imagine understanding a body by doing an autopsy(enter, dagger) and studying the parts. 分かりますか？ .

4) [Hujis] 30-11-2008(22): I cut the cake in to eight parts by using a dagger. Then I ate one part every minute. (I just found eight easier to use than enter.).

5) [mattimus] 19-4-2010(13): Forget mnemonics for this one. Just look at it, it's a sword parting the line above it (cutting it into two parts). Easy!
