適 - Suitable
Walking the road at dusk, you reach a secret base that only admits those who are Suitable, a throwback to 適 meaning 'to hit the mark'. Inside, a sensor pings 'teki-teki' (phonetic 啇, also seen in 滴 and 敵), while you remember that in Japanese '適当' can oddly mean both 'proper' and 'slapdash'—choose precisely or get denied.
