“Keep it a secret! This radical represents the personal, private details of our lives that we choose not to share with everyone. When you see it, think of self-interest, hidden objects, and the sacred boundaries of your own private world. It brings a sense of intimacy, "exclusive" meaning, and the deep, silent parts of the self to all its characters.”

Where it sits in a kanji

Indicates privacy or being personal (I/me), secrets and hidden things, self-interest or selfishness, and sometimes formal speech or religious enlightenment.
