So the key piece here turned out to be the knowledge that "outward flick at the end indicates it's a 口 at the bottom"
So it certainly pays to know the shape of basic characters
Gotta have the basics down
Another adventure in deciphering
I couldn't recognise the highlighted word
But it has 2 characters
And I was confident about the makeup of the first character so I started there
It has a hitogashira 𠆢 and kidna looks like 會
But it flicks outwards not inwards at the end, so its not 日 but 口
