Today's kanji are short and sweet, but useful whether you're kimono shopping or just need to know the right bathroom to go into. ;)
Man, or "otoko" (oh-toh-koh) on its own, can be remembered as the power/strength 力 out in the fields 田, giving us the kanji 男.
Woman, or "onna" (ohn-nah, be sure to drag out the "n" sound a bit) derives from, if I recall correctly, a pictograph of a seated woman: 女.
