The left side of the character is similar the right part 线 (which means a line) but it doesn’t have three dashes, but two. It’s right side has the radical for knife, so I remember it means to DRAW/CUT A LINE.
I remember this character because the radical is the “knife” radical, knives are used to cut. Therefore, the meaning of this character relates to the radicals meaning.
this character is the second character from the word that means to plan and makes the sound hua. I think that hua is the sound of someone using a knife. Even the character has the knife radical with other “drawn in” lines.

It has the knife radical, and a bent line with a pair of lines across it. So, someone drew those lines.
