0070 迎

迎

This character means ‘to meet, receive, greet.’ In Japanese it’s pronounced GEI or mukaeru, and in Chinese it’s yíng.

The element that wraps around the left and lower sides

辶

means ‘walk, walking.’ The rest of the character,

卬,

is there to give a sound clue. As usual in these cases, it’s up to the learner to figure out some way to make the character memorable. To me, 卬 looks like a pair of swinging doors in an old Western saloon. I can imagine a meet-and-greet taking place right near those doors after a walk up the dusty street.
