|+ト  The "Tatebou" radical - vertical stroke / Katakana "To" or The "Boku" radical - oracle

ノ+|+口  Katakana "No" or The "No" radical - diagonal sweeping stroke / The "Tatebou" radical - vertical stroke / KOU, kuchi - mouth

八+|+|+八+日  HACHI, ya(ttsu), ya(tsu), ya, yo - eight / The "Tatebou" radical - vertical stroke / NICHI, JITSU, hi, ka - sun, day

三+八+人  SAN, mi(tsu), mi(ttsu), mi - three / HACHI, ya(ttsu), ya(tsu), ya, yo - eight / JIN, NIN, hito - person
