匕 0 (none) To remember the primitive meaning, picture someone sitting on the ground performing Seppuku...with a spoon. http://tinyurl.com/co48k.

Accepted Answer

さじ S+ spoon Not only is stroke order important, but also be sure to note the direction of a stroke. In both ´spoon´ and ´seven´, the first stroke is the horizontal one - but here it is written right to left in a downward flick, while in ´seven´ it is a strong line from left to right.
