How to remember it
An eye with a crossed-out lash — め is also the word for "eye" (目, me).
め is two strokes and, crucially, no loop — the second stroke crosses the first and finishes with a free sweep. Compare it side by side with ぬ once and the pair usually stops being a problem.
Example words
- あめ ame rain, candy
- めがね megane glasses
