| Keyword | nightbreak |
| Koohii Story 1 | A nightbreak happens when the sun rises over the horizon (floor). |
| Koohii Story 2 | It may be easier to think of the keyword "DAYBREAK" or "MORNING" for this kanji (other kanji dictionaries do). Then the mnemonic phrase "SUN rising over the HORIZON" works better. It is an infrequent kanji, but can be found in: 旦夕 （たんせき） morning and evening, or 元旦 （がんたん） New Year´s Day. |
