未 not yet
ONYOMI: MI
I'm not yet the perfect ME.
未 is basically 末, but with a SHORTER upper stroke. . HOW TO TELL THEM APART;
未-tip - SHORT UPPER BRANCH on the tree
末 - not yet - LONG UPPER BRANCH on the tree
The MADA tree, the extra branch has not yet fully grown, that's why it is shorter than the middle one.
The SUE tree, however, the extra branch has grown ALL THE WAY TO THE TIP, which is why it's LONGER than the middle one.

| Meaning | Hint | Radical | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 未 | not yet | TOP BRANCH SHORTER | |
| 夫 | husband | NO PENIS | |
| 末 | the tip | TOP BRANCH LONGER |
The MADA tree, the top branch has not yet fully grown, that's why it is shorter than the middle one.
The SUE tree, however, the top branch has grown all the way to the tip, which is why it's LONGER than the middle one!
Unlike the trees,the husband has NOTHING BETWEEN HIS LEGS, so that's how you can remember him. (FYI they say his wife cut his pecker off . . .after catching him fucking the tree) (birch!)
