Another day of deciphering
and reprimanding my hayatochiri self
My head was fixed in kuzushiji mode that when I saw the second character in the highlighted bit, all I could see was 己 as you often see in 記
But it's actually just a poorly written 区 duh
1/3
@kant.bsky.socialSo 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
