The pronunciation sounds like the currency, and when I think of this, I think about the coins and how they are round.

the enclosure radical gives a round shape, 贝 radical inside is a shell and some shells are round. 口 is also there and mouths are round. (圆)

To me this character looks like a person’s face. I always remember how in my culture a face is considered pretty and cute if it is round, so I remember that this character means round.

this character look’s like a person in a box with a big, round head. some cultures think that round faces are pretty because they’re childish-looking, so i remember from the head that this character means round

I like to remember this character because it has an ENCLOSED radical, which goes a-ROUND the component inside which looks like a person with a ROUND head.

This character’s pronunciation is similar to the character 员 which is inside the enclosed radical, surrounded by it.

the enclosed radical is square, but the meaning is round, so I just think of the opposite to a square
