How to remember 劵
The top part 龹 gives the sound juàn, and the bottom is 力 (lì, strength). Think of your strength 力 running out at the bottom, which fits its old meaning of being tired, like 倦 (juàn).
劵 is rare in modern Chinese. Dictionaries list it as an old variant of 倦 (juàn, tired), and you may also see it as a common misprint for 券 (quàn, ticket). In normal writing use 倦, as in 我有点疲倦 (wǒ yǒudiǎn píjuàn), I am a bit tired.
Common mistake: Learners often confuse 劵 with 券 (quàn, ticket), which has 刀 (knife) at the bottom instead of 力. Signs like 优惠劵 are a common error, and the correct form is 优惠券 (yōuhuìquàn, coupon).
