Interesting Fact
When shopping in Japan, you'll often see ็จ่พผ (including tax) and ็จๅฅ (excluding tax). Since the consumption tax is added to many purchases, this kanji appears in stores everywhere.
Memory Trick
Imagine paying for an item at the checkout and noticing extra money added for tax. That receipt reminds you that ็จ means 'tax.'
