How to remember
This kanji looks like two lines splitting apart, representing the concept of 'eight', possibly hinting at something dividing into parts. 'Hachi' — sounds like 'HATCH-y', like a baby chick HATCHing into eight pieces (a bit silly, but memorable). Imagine two legs spread wide apart, forming the shape of the number eight. It's a stable, grounded number. Vocabulary
