SIDE-BY-SIDE KANJI MNEMONICS

右 (Right) vs 左 (Left) vs 石 (Stone)

Right and Left look identical at the top — only the bottom component (mouth vs craft ruler) tells them apart.

5-Second Radical Distinction Rule: 右 (mouth 口 at bottom = you eat with your Right hand) • 左 (work/craft エ at bottom = Left hand holds the ruler) • 石 (cliff + rock mouth = Stone).
