玉

Mnemonic symbol: a nation's flag. Let's say the Chinese flag.
In the observatory's kitchen (o2) Gitta Giraffe (gu) is practising her ballet performance. She got a whole crate (囗) full of jade bracelets (玉) and flags (国) and fixed one flag to each jade bracelet. This makes a perfect combination for throwing the ring with the flag waving behind it and catching the ring again after a few pirouettes.
技

扌
+
支
:
Joan of Arc (ji) is gaming in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). Although she types on the keyboard using a branch (支) and moves the mouse using a toy claw (扌), she still has enough skill (技) to own everyone.
