How to remember

The kanji 寸 depicts a hand (又) with a mark (一) indicating a small unit of measurement at the pulse point of the wrist, traditionally about an inch.

Imagine the top line (一) as a single, tiny mark on a measuring tape, held by a hand-like shape (又) below, emphasizing a 'small measure'.
