“Shelter under the roof! This radical looks like a person spreading their arms wide or a simple roof over a home. It represents protection, the household, and the "top" of our shared experience. When it sits atop a character, think of people gathering together under one roof, or the protective boundaries that define a shared space and common purpose.”
