⺌ (small/roof) + 田 (rice field)
📖 Mnemonic Story
Imagine a tiny, precise **roof** (⺌) hovering directly over a perfectly square **rice field** (田). This roof isn't just *on* the field; it's hitting the *exact*, most appropriate spot, like a laser-guided missile. If you hit that precise spot, you've hit the bullseye, and it's perfectly **appropriate**!
💡 Quick Hint: Roof hits field
