Remember it

る without the loop: a road that never closes.

Words that use it

  • ろく roku six
  • しろ shiro white

Don't confuse it with

ろ is る with the loop left open. Both are one stroke and both end at the bottom right, so the only question is whether the pen came back round to touch its own line.
