Two people under a roof. One is bowing to the other as if they are showing respect because they just met. Also one stroke looks like a j

The way I remember this character is by thinking about the mathematical symbol less than or equal to <=, and for the sound I think about the pinyin/meaning Jie, and how the "i" from "i"n between is in between two different letters, just like the legs from the character the first legs is slightly tilted to the left.

The character 介 looks like a bus roof, and two people waiting under it. And the only space to stand is “to be in between”

The first and the second like looks like a j and an i. This also looks very similar to piE in mathematics.

It might be cool to imagine a small house with the left leg curved and the right leg straight to keep the house stable.

It looks like someone wearing a hat, perhaps a woman wearing a hat, which makes it somewhat similar to the meaning of the character.

It appears as a sloping roof with two pillars as an entrance. You have to go in “between” “to be in”side..
