A way to remember it
A net, with the frame around the outside and the mesh inside. The character was nearly obsolete, and then the internet arrived: 网 is now one of the busiest characters in the language.
A picture that makes the shape stick — not a claim about the character’s history.
Draft — written with AI help and not yet read by a person. What that means.
Shown in simplified. Converting whole words needs one-to-many knowledge this site does not have — 发 is 發 in 出发 but 髮 in 头发 — and a confidently wrong word would be worse than an honest simplified one.
Got it. Tell someone:
net; web; network
wǎng — net; web; network
