This character resembles an upside-facing arrow and hence it becomes very easy to memorize this character. Also the person radical looks very similar to a person standing upright which further makes it easier for me to understand the meaning of this character

It would be good to imagine the person radical having another diagonal line partner, and because they want to be friends, the two diagonal lines on the top share the one vertical line by putting the vertical line in the center.
