I remember this character because the roof radical on top encloses the radical, so it is certain that it is closed and certainly always protected

i think of this radical as a person (人) lying down under his roof so he is certain that he is safe.

It is quite weird but there is a person under the roof standing with a good posture on a good stable foundation which implies of confidence and certainty. The roof on top seems like it is protecting that person to not to change his mind.

For this character, it always reminds me of a house that has a chimney and a few floors under the roof. So the entire character indicates to me that the radical means a roof.

with the roof radical on top, it seems like a person is inside a house, which indicates security and certainty of the person’s safety, hence the meaning “certain.”

It has a roof radical and what is similar to the walking radical , and to me it looks like a person driving a motorcycle with their helmet one and scarf blowing behind them because they are CERTAIN they are safe.

The character ‘ding’ looks like a reception bell/call bell 🛎️ that if you press the bell it is CERTAINLY going to make a ‘ding’ sound.

When you tell someone, “definitely” or “一定“ when making plans, you tend to smirk and the character looks like a face smirking
