How 畐 is built
Components of the character.
Radical: 田 (field), shared by 46 characters on this site.
How to remember 畐
Picture a lid 一 on top, a mouth 口 in the middle, and a field 田 at the bottom: a jar sealed at the top and packed full down to its base. Think of it as a container stuffed to the brim, which fits the meaning "to fill."
畐 (fú) is rarely used as a word on its own in modern Chinese. You mostly meet it as a component inside common characters, such as 福 (fú, good fortune), 富 (fù, rich), 副 (fù, deputy), and 幅 (fú, width of cloth). Example: 祝你幸福。(Zhù nǐ xìngfú.) I wish you happiness.
Common mistake: Learners often write the middle part as 日 instead of 口, or forget the top stroke 一. The order from top to bottom is 一, then 口, then 田.
