Tips

usage
穂 is a variant glyph of 穗 (suì, 'ear of grain / tassel'). It's the standard form in Japanese (where it's read 'ho' or 'sui' and used in names like 美穂 Miho or 千穂 Chiho). In modern Mainland Chinese the standard form is 穗 — 穂 mostly turns up in Japanese names and Korean Hanja contexts. 穗 also serves as the abbreviation for Guangzhou (广州).
memory
Both 穗 and 穂 use the 禾 'grain' radical — picture a head of wheat with the seed-cluster on top.
