Etymology
蚭 combines the insect radical 虫 with the phonetic component 尼. The exact historical development is uncertain, but it likely originally referred to a type of insect or worm.
Meaning mnemonic
The insect radical 虫 suggests a bug or worm, but the overall meaning is unclear. Picture a rare, unknown insect that defies easy description.
Reading mnemonic
For ジ, imagine a tiny insect wearing a tiny G-string: G -> ジ, and the insect is as mysterious as the kanji itself.
