Notes
Often known as さんずい (literally 'three water').
In mnemonics, we use 'splash' for the component which looks like the ⺢ (water) variant with no 亅 (hook) in the middle, such as the lower right component in 渋 (astringent).
We can't live without water, and neither can many kanji, including 氷 (ice), 活 (activity), and 泰 (peaceful).
