持 - Hold
With a giant foam finger, you gently Hold a tiny Buddhist Temple model steady—hand + temple clicks into meaning at a glance. 寺 reads ジ (てら “temple”), and with the hand radical 扌 it forms 持 (もつ)—a neat phono-semantic pairing you’ll notice across kanji families. kanjipedia.jpWiktionarykanshudo.comJapanese Language Stack Exchange
