Memory tip
Break 掲 down and you get 扌 (hand) — a hand reaching in from the left. Picture a hand with one finger extended, pointing, put 掲 inside it, and let that scene stand for "put up" — put up / publish. The odder the picture, the better it sticks.

Stroke count: 11

Writing Tips
- Follow the order strictly: top-to-bottom and left-to-right. Correct order makes the shape balanced and natural.
- Keep each stroke in one smooth motion — don't lift the pen in the middle of a stroke.
- Close enclosing strokes cleanly so the character does not look open or broken.
- Common mistake: drawing strokes bottom-to-top or right-to-left. Even if the result looks similar, the wrong order shows in handwriting and makes it harder to read.
