在 - Exist
On packed Soil, I press a stick, add a bend, then a single One stroke to shape 才 beneath 土, the classic phono-semantic recipe that makes 在 sound like 'zai' and mean Exist at a place. Think of 在 in Chinese xiànzài now and Japanese 在宅 home-working after 2020, where being somewhere defines existing there.
