爱

爱 = 受 + 𠂇 : Mnemonic symbol: A pair of swans who are in love.

爱 = 受 + 𠂇 : Albert Einstein hurt himself with a pair of scissors in the airplane's bathroom. He's already laying on a stretcher carried by two swans who are deeply in love with each other, being transported to the next hospital. A hospital... of love.

Mnemonic symbol: 冖 shall be represented by a saucepan lid. Marilyn Monroe (mi-) wants to use the bathroom in the space station (Ø4), but the door is broken! She tries to cover herself with a saucepan lid (冖) instead.

友 = 𠂇 + 又 : Maud Younger (y) is unable to take off her boxing gloves (又) in the outhouse's living room (ou3) on her own! Fortunately, a friend (友) comes over and helps her to take off the gloves by cutting them with a pair of scissors (𠂇).

受 = 爫 + 冖 + 又 : Mnemonic symbol: 受 is often used in a negative sense, when something bad happens to the speaker. I thus represent 受 by a stretcher, which is used to transport injured persons.

受 = 爫 + 冖 + 又 : Sherlock Holmes lost a boxing fight in the outhouse, and he's lying on a stretcher in the bathroom now. He still has his boxing gloves on. He got beaten so badly that is opponent was even able to shave his head with an electric razor. Nobody had a cover at hand, so he's just provisionally covered with a cooking top.

Mnemonic symbol: the strokes of this character remind me of a smiling mouth over a beard; thus, I'll represent it by an electric razor. James II of England (zh) uses his electric razor (爫) to shave his beard in the aorta's living room (ao3).

𠂇 = 丿 + 一 : 𠂇 looks like a pair of scissors. Imagine a pair of scissors (𠂇) cutting open a banana (丿) to find a flute (一) inside.
