廿 twentyTwo connected "ten" 十 means twenty (This radical 艹 can not be used for 20 as it is already used for plant/grass.)
body part, meatThe radical niku is typically at the left side of a composition and drawn as: 月, which looks equal to: "moon, month 月" but still has the meaning 'body part'.
Stick in a handThe radical nobun shows a hand or 又 that holds a stick ノ (simplified from the Chinese radical 66 攴 for whip or rap. In this radical, the stick 卜 in the hand 又 is easily cognizable.)
