LOOKALIKES:
USED IN:
| Meaning | Hint | Radical | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 方 | direction / method / person | HEAD | |
| 万 | 10000 | EVEN ON TOP |
方 means 'person', so naturally it has a little 'head' stiking up on top - you can think of that as the person's beret!
万 is a number, so naturally it has NO HEAD. It's EVEN on top - which makes sense because 10,000 is an even number.
