Curiosity:
This character is composed of two parts. The one at its top (
) is one of the radicals by which characters are arranged in conventional Chinese dictionaries. It means 'house with rooms'. The second part is the Chinese character for 'woman, girl' (女). So, the idea of peace and security is conveyed by the picture of a woman in her house - or under the roof of her house, if that helps you remember this character's shape.
