When I try to remember a character with a correct meaning, I always look at the radicals. Once you know the meaning of the radicals, the character is usually related to what the radical represents. And the parts that are not radicals tell us the pronunciations. For this character 冷, the right side tells us the pronunciation.

This character can be memorized because the top of the right side of the character looks like a hat and the part under that looks like a scarf. These are what people wear when it is cold outside.

This character can be memorized because radical is water and the right side is like a roof providing warmth from the cold.

This character is very similar to 今 from 今天. What I do to remember it is to think of a cold day, so I add the ice radical and try to remember that there is an additional dián stoke.

I remember this character by creating a story out of it. The character looks like a person is staying underneath a roof (basically stay inside the house) and the two dots represent snow.

How I memorize this character: the left hand side radical is ice; and the right hand side looks like a house (like a roof)– stay inside house when it’s cold outside. Thus, I think of an icy / snowy winter day and how it is cold.

for me, the character looks like a house with a chimney that helps you stay warm when the weather is COLD

This character gives me the idea of cold because when someone is warm, they go under a roof, and under that roof, they might grab a chair to sit in. While on the exterior part of the character, it looks like there is snow outside.

the radical is ice and the component looks like the character from today, if there’s ice out today it feels cold

It looks like a person huddling under the roof cause they are so cold.

I remember this character by imagining a scenario. There is a mountain in the background, and the dot underneath is a person’s head with its body and skis composed underneath. The radical of ice looks like snow/wind/rain blowing against the person skiing, when that happens we feel the cold.

冷 has an ice radical to help you remember it is cold. the character looks like a person hiding in their house because it is cold outside.

This right side of the character looks like a person inside a house. The person looks like he’s cuddled up (almost like he’s lifting his legs up to his chest), so he’s feeling cold. The ice radical also makes it look like it is snowing outside

冷 has an ice radical, and the right component looks like a person cuddled up in their house since it’s cold outside.

On the right we can clearly see a person who is hiding under the roof and on the left side is snow going on outside.

the ice radicles are outside the house so it is too cold to go outside.
