卜

crooked divining rod

Mnemonic

A pictograph of a crooked divining rod hovering in the air right below the ceiling.

Do not confuse it with 上, which also features a magical levitating divining rod, however that one is not crooked, so it's properly hovering above the ground instead of right below the ceiling like this one is.
