I remember this because of Beijing. and the place is famous for its duck, so it looks like a duck with the beak at the top left and the tiny tail at the bottom right

北 (běi) can be compared to picturing a compass pointing towards the north. The character 北 represents the direction “north” and its shape resembles the arrow on a compass pointing upwards. This analogy can help you visualize and remember the structure of 北 when writing it.

This character looks like a 2 confused people standing back-to-back and facing opposite directions to find their way to the NORTH. The left one is pointing with their 2 hands, but the person on the right is only using their one hand.
