片 fragment

This, to me, looks like a dude facing right, down on one knee, holding out a fancy tray, on which is placed a FRAGMENT OF A HEN (usually the beak, sometimes just the giblets).

one-handed ★★☆☆☆ KUNKUN
片 (fragment) + 手 (hand) = 片手 (one-handed)

to do xxx one-handed.

broken english / Japanese ★★☆☆☆ KUNKUNFP
片 (fragment) + 言 (say) = 片言 (broken english / Japanese)

we say "He speaks broken English".Japanese say, "He speaks katakoto nihongo."

fragment ★★☆☆☆
破 (rend) + 片 (fragment) = 破片 (fragment)

katakana ★☆☆☆☆
片 (fragment) + 仮名 (kana) = 片仮名 (katakana)

katakana - the letterforms which are used to write foreign words and indicate emphasis. Oddly, the word "katakana" is written in Kanji. Kind of defeats the purpose?
