真

zhe̅n = zh + (e)n1

really / truly / indeed / real / true / genuine

真 = 具 + 十 : Mnemonic symbol: a replicator. It generates real and genuine things out of nothing. Looks like a microwave with a cross as antenna. James II of England (zh) broke his replicator (真) in front of the encampment ((e)n1): the cross (十) on the top is broken. Using his toolbox (具), James II of England tries his best to fix it. Fortunately he has a genuine, authorized, real (真) replacement cross.

钅

Character component without intrinsic meaning

Mnemonic symbol: a golden harpoon.
