This character looks like the bottom part of a face. You can see the mustache as X part and 2 teeth and a laughing mouth under. So it basically looks like a dad laughing at a bad dad joke.

This means father because at the bottom it looks like a face wearing glasses (most dad’s wear glasses) and with a mustache. At the top he has a weird looking crown and only kings wear crowns, symbolizing that the king of the family is the FATHER. 🙂

When I look at this character I think of my dad, because the upper part looks like crossed arms (when your dad is standing and looking at you angrily with his arms crossed)

The way I remember that this character means dad, is that the top part with the cross looks like a workers hat, while the bottom half is like 2 eyes with a mouth. Another reason is that his face is very symmetrical and straight which is normal for older men. Whereas the character for mama has more flow and movement.

The character has the two little strokes which make me think of an angry father with eyebrows.

When I see this character, I see two swords crossed on the top of a table with drawers.

I see the top part of the character like a miner; something some fathers do.

The way I would end up seeing the character was a pirate flag, as most pirates represented power, I feel as if baba looked like two swords and a mouth at the bottom.

The strokes remind me of two swords, usually related to man that use to fight as a father, which helped me memorize it better.
