宀 is a roof and 豕 is a pig. So an animal under a roof is a home i.e food to eat.

The way that helps me remember Jia is by first looking at the radical for roof, and then noticing that each stroke towards the bottom of the character can represent a different family member living under the same roof.

There are many parts to a family or a home, just like there are many parts to this symbol; but they all make up one united unit.

It looks like a family, as there is a roof above the people who are the individual strings.

Under a roof one line is split, making other lines. Like a family tree.

The character on the top means roof, which associates with family. The character at the bottom looks like a family tree.

The top is like a little roof with a chimney sheltering the family below.

It looks like there are a bunch of tentacles coming out from underneath the “roof” radical, and this reminds me of the interconnectedness and messiness that I associate with family.

I see it as a roof with the family members underneath. Each stroke under is connected, as a family is through blood.

The radical looks like a roof and the character looks like people under a roof. That is how we can remember this character
