The Japanese gesture for 'me'.
This kanji is easily confused with 目, which means 'eye' (among others). It's not. Look at the little 'tick mark' at the top. This kanji means 'oneself'. on is し or じ, the kun is おの （as part of some compounds). You may recognize じ as the start of じてんしゃ (自転車 in kanji), meaning bicycle.
Our group of usual suspects (combos with kanji and kana we know) is small:
自国 (じこく) - one's own country
自ら (みずから) - for oneself, privately
自ずから (おのずから) - naturally, as a matter of course
