Start with a short horizontal line near the top. Under that, draw two small teardrop-shaped marks hanging downward. Draw a long horizontal bar across the middle. From the center of that bar, add a vertical stroke downward. Add another small teardrop mark under the left side of the middle bar. Below the middle section, draw a large sweeping diagonal stroke that curves down and left like a hook. Finish with a sharp, pointed stroke extending down and right from the center, ending in a dagger-like tip.
