書
As kaku, this character means 'to write' or 'to draw.' As fumi, it means 'books; letter, note.'
The upper part represents a hand (the three upper horizontal lines, connected by the sidepiece on the right) holding an upright writing brush (ITSU).
聿
The lower part of the character is an alteration of
曰
which means 'to say,' even though as written in 書 kaku, it looks like
日
NICHI or hi, meaning 'sun; day.'
