Tips

mistakes
汨 (with 日 inside, read mì) is constantly confused with the look-alike 汩 (with 曰 inside, read gǔ, 'gurgling'). Only 汨 is the river of 屈原.

Components

radical
氵 shuǐ
water
氵 is the three-drop water radical, marking 汨 as the name of a river.
phonetic
日 rì
sun; day
The inner element is 日 (sun), used here for sound, not meaning. Note it is sealed 日, not the open 曰 of the very similar 汩.
